The Children’s Museum of Cleveland creates exhibits and programs by following the four principles of Early Learning and School Readiness developed by the Ohio Department of Education:

1. All children are born ready to learn – starting our experiences from the place of potential and ability
2. Relationships are influential – ensuring that we meet the social and emotional needs of our children in the ways in which we design our activities and relate to our children
3. Communication is critical – recognizing the importance of language as the foundation for all learning, designing experiences that capitalize on introducing print in a variety of meaningful ways
4. Environments matter – designing our learning spaces to reinforce and support what children are learning.

While visiting The Children’s Museum of Cleveland your students will engage in a variety of open-ended creative learning environments. We are excited to offer this resource. Stop back again and watch us grow!
