THEY'RE GIGGLING
THEIR WAY TO
HIGHER TEST SCORES
It all started when Ramona asked William to pass the
ketchup. Instead, William pretended to squirt the ketchup
on Ramona. Which elicited a tiny giggle out of Ramona...
which quickly grew into a belly laugh. Soon William was
belly laughing, too. And since their parents were both
looking on, well, you get the
picture.
It's just a
typical day
of fun at the
Children's
Museum.
But here, the
fun helps
kids in our
community
get ahead.
Research shows that play improves socialization
and teaches fundamental learning concepts that directly
impact their success in school. The more kids play in
environments like ours, the more likely they are to succeed
in academics—and life.
That's why we provide
access to everyone
in our community,
regardless of ability to
pay. Our members and
donors understand that
every child deserves a
level "playing"
fi eld. And
ours is
always
open.
