General Info

The Connecticut Children's Museum building houses three programs: Creating Kids Child Care Center, Creating Curriculum Child Care Provider Training Program and the Connecticut Children's Museum itself. Each is inspired by the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, articulated by Harvard psychologist, Howard Gardner. This is a rich and resourceful, cutting edge educational theory, which recognizes the multiplicity of children's intelligences and honors the different ways children learn. The exhibits for the new Connecticut Children's Museum were inspired by educators, artists, health care providers, scientists, community organizers, businesspeople, architects and parents who worked together--meeting, dreaming, and drawing. Hundreds of people generated the reservoir of ideas that now shape the eight thematic and community-inspired rooms.
