The Children’s Museum & Theater of Maine has been steadily growing both its visitor-ship and educational offerings for more than 25 years. But, the physical limitations of their current downtown space have restricted their ability to expand their programming and service all those they wish to be engaging with.
The Museum & Theatre is a welcoming and valuable community asset, offering a diverse array of educational opportunities specifically developed for children and their families, caregivers, and educators.
The Museum & Theatre provides families with unique opportunities to play and learn together. In addition to offering one-of-a-kind, hands-on exhibits, the Museum & Theatre leads daily educational activities for all ages and produces fully-staged theater productions featuring youth actors.
Based on a careful study of community needs, the Museum & Theatre’s work focuses on the following key areas:
STEM (science, technology, engineering & math)
Multicultural education and community engagement
Performing and visual arts
Early childhood education
