The Children’s Museum of Richmond has been a long standing institution devoted to learning through play. It has grown into an organization that extends its services out into the community through programs and additional museum locations – reaching over 400,000 individuals each year through visits, programs, and community involvement. We believe in education for the whole family and that parent/caregiver engagement is key to helping a child learn and ultimately be successful in school.

With that aforementioned focus on learning in mind, I leave you with this thought through a poem from an unknown writer.
