The Spot - Prescott Area Children's Museum - Art, Science, Discovery for Kids
Prescott Children's Museum
Welcome to the spot…a Child’s Museum - an emerging premier destination site for children and families. Its structure focuses on the future and its programs will offer an innovative and ecologically minded environment that promotes the “green” initiative. It is our goal to use non-toxic, recycled, and sustainable materials, renewable resources, socially responsible practices, and earth-friendly behaviors in our buildings, our exhibits, our activities and programs.
The spot...a Child's Museum will provide unique and meaningful programs and exhibits for all children that educate them in the concepts of their world and build a lifelong interest in learning. We plan to offer a dynamic, constantly-evolving museum format that incorporates all of the day-to-day facets of life specifically related to science, technology, engineering, math, (STEM) and the fine arts with a strong focus on the history and culture of the local area.
The Children’s Museum Alliance, Inc. addresses children and their futures as change agents, inventors, problems solvers, idea sharers, self-initiators, future creatives and thought leaders by establishing a quality, educational museum that provides interaction with people, the environment and the future.
Find out how to support the spot...a Child's Museum with your generous donation or volunteer service. Please contact us for more information on how you, too, can foster interactive learning and discovery for all!
