The Children’s Museum moved in 1979 from Jamaica Plain to our Fort Point Channel location to be more accessible to all the neighborhoods of
Boston. We wanted to become a true common ground for learning by sharing our educational resources City-wide. Now, twenty years later and
more committed than ever to bringing together the diversity of Boston, we have been able to secure our home on the Fort Point
Channel by purchasing the Computer Museum’s half-interest in our building.
The purchase of our building comes at an ideal time. As downtown Boston grows rapidly around us, we are able to grow with it, both inside and
out. Our Fort Point Channel neighborhood will soon be the center of recreation and education in a dynamic new Boston. Our dream is to create
a beautiful waterfront destination that links Boston’s children to their downtown and Harbor, as well as to each other.
Our growth will be guided by our vision to become the best possible urban children’s museum. This year a record 2,100 Head Start
students and 5,900 Boston Public School (BPS) kindergarten students visited us during the school year. Head Start and BPS Kindergarten teachers also
joined us to participate in hands-on training to complement what children learn in the classroom with the fun learning tools provided by the Museum.
These core Headstart and Kindergarten programs, along with Camp on the Channel, our innovative camp program for 7-10 year olds, will grow
even larger next year, as The Children’s Museum continues to be a full partner in early education reform.
This year, we hosted 416,000 visitors from all over the world, our highest attendance in seven years, thanks to the continuing success of ArthurTM’s World at The Children’s Museum. Arthur’s popularity reinforces our need for more lobby space, additional amenities, as
well as more exhibition space, which we will begin to deliver immediately with the opening on October 29 of our next major exhibition – Sesame
Street®.
Our ability to grow for the future by purchasing our building was made possible through the support of very generous friends, including the
Germeshausen Foundation, who has challenged us to involve the entire Children’s Museum family in our building campaign. In the coming year, as
we begin the master planning of our new home, we want to include all of you, old friends and new. Museums belong to the communities
they serve. The growth of The Children’s Museum will reflect what we all want for our children.
Sincerely,
Louis B. Casagrande

Playspace/Playspace 2000
Good Beginnings
Fun and learning at The Children’s Museum starts as early as birth!
Playspace, a dedicated play area for children 0-3, has beckoned parents and preschoolers for more than 20 years, and
has become the model for infant and toddler areas in museums throughout the world. In Playspace, young children can
play, learn and grow while parents browse through the parenting resources and share experiences with other parents.
In April of next year, look for PlaySpace 2000
— a brand new Playspace incorporating parents’
dreams and visions, as well as new programs suggested by the latest brain research. Children’s play
and learning will be the focus of Playspace 2000,
with an expanded infant area and new activities to
support early science literacy and language development. Infants and toddlers will find new toys and
activities to support their learning and growth.
Dramatic play will also take centerstage
in Playspace 2000, to highlight its importance
as a fun and valuable tool for social,
emotional, physical and intellectual
development.
Through Good Beginnings, a collaboration with Boston Medical Center,
Museum staff travel to the Center on a weekly basis to work with children and
families who are outpatients at the hospital’s pediatric clinics. Staff and children
participate in fun, low-stress activities that develop fine motor, reading and social
skills. While children are busy with the activities, staff and volunteers talk to parents about how the activities support their child’s development. The activities can
then be easily duplicated at home for fun and learning reinforcement.
Boston Medical Hospital patients and their families can also look forward to the
transformation of pediatric waiting rooms into colorful and interactive learning
rooms. Designed by The Children’s Museum to brighten a potentially intimidating
environment for children, the learning rooms will serve as small-scale Museum satellite locations, engaging patients in fun, educational activities to inspire healthcare
learning.
Great Explorations
Great Explorations, a collaboration with the Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC), provides a much-needed opportunity for
parents to learn to utilize the Museum’s resources as educational and recreational
support for their young families. The five-session program includes an orientation for
parents, three parent/child visits, and a final organized visit that invites extended
family to come along, plus a free membership to continue visiting the Museum.

Head Start on
Kindergarten Partnership
Head Start on KidStage completed its second year with 2,000
preschool children taking the stage!
This initiative, which uses theater arts to support
the Head Start curriculum, also includes components for teachers and parents.
For parents, family programs and free memberships encourage Museum attendance for Head
Start families, and support parents and caregivers of these young children in their role as first
teachers.
For teachers, training in dramatic play techniques to support the development of abstract
thinking, language, imagination and social/
emotional skills enrich the Head Start curriculum. This year, teachers learned to improvise
stories with children, engage children through
puppetry, transform classrooms into dramatic
play areas and create curricula
surrounding a theme.
As Boston Public Schools (BPS) kindergarten teachers and students were adjusting to their first year of
full-day kindergarten classes, The Children’s Museum
invited them all for a visit! Through a newly launched
strategic partnership with BPS, the Museum is supporting kindergarten teachers in meeting the challenges of education reform.
The centerpiece of the program is a
special Kindergarten Morning
at the Museum for all participating
classes, designed around the BPS
learning standards. Free buses are
provided by the Museum. The
Children’s Museum staff and
Boston kindergarten teachers
collaborated to develop a curriculum
guide full of hands-on activities for
the classroom, classroom kits, and professional development to help every kindergarten
teacher in Boston make the new Boston learning standards come alive for their students.
So, while Kindergarten students are experimenting in Bubbles and playing in Boats
Afloat, they are also learning about the properties of water and matter, a key
component of the science standards for Boston kindergartens.
Kidstage performed 1485 times this year,
to an audience of 185,625!
55 percent of The Children’s Museum visitors are children; 45 percent are adults.

Teacher-to-Teacher Online
New Websites
The Teacher Center ventured into cyberspace this year, creating two websites for teachers
located at www.BostonKids.org/teachers. “People of the First Light” Website on the Wampanoag gives
educators access to Native American curriculum resources online with a special focus on the Wampanoag of
Massachusetts. Developed in collaboration with Wampanoag tribal members, the website offers high-quality resources to help teachers meet the new frameworks set by the state of Massachusetts. The Teacher
Center also taught five institutes around the state on this topic, co-taught with tribal
educators.
The Teacher Center also launched an online Teacher-to-Teacher Discussion Forum site offering educators
moderated discussion forums. The Discussion Forums provide an on-line community of colleagues eager to discuss
each other's successes and challenges, exchange activities, share ideas, and supplement curriculum, including ways of
using the Internet as a classroom tool. The organized "threaded discussions" are moderated by project facilitators in the
following subject areas: Kindergarten, Science, Japan, and the Wampanoag Indians of Massachusetts.
"The Children’s Museum is reaffirming its
commitment to schoolchildren by providing an
online learning environment for the growth and
development of teachers," said Ginny Zanger,
director of the Museum’s Harcourt General/Smith
Family Teacher Center.
More than 4,580 users have visited
the “People of the First Light” website,
from ten different countries, including
Australia, Germany and Japan!

‘People of the First Light’ presents the culture, history and heritage of
Wampanoag people with accuracy and respect. Resources on the website
include a historical background through native voices, classroom activities
for K-12 educators, a slide show of Museum collections, and a guide to
evaluating resources, to name just a few!
Teachers, community workers, caregivers, parents, and children
in more than 500 communities throughout New England are served
by the Museum’s education division through the Resource Center,
use of Museum curricula, educational kits, and
teacher programs and seminars.
More than 2,500 educators visited the Teacher Center library this year!

This year, 188 campers joined us on
the waterfront for the second year of
Camp on the Channel!
School may be out during the summer, but for Boston 7-10 year olds, there’s still lots of learning going on at The Children’s Museum’s Camp on the Channel. A unique waterfront summer day camp for children ages 7-10, Camp on the Channel is a collaboration among the South
Boston Neighborhood House, The Children’s Museum and the YMCA of Greater Boston.
It was a first-ever event for The Children’s Museum, and the Boston art world too…a bed, set of stairs,
and earth wedge floating in the Fort Point Channel! These and five other unique sculptures
made up Arts Afloat, a waterscape of floating sculptures on display throughout the month of
October. Designed by local artists, the creations reflected the ecological, cultural and
historical dimensions of the Fort Point Channel and The Children’s Museum’s
mission - to help children understand and enjoy the world in which they live.
By featuring Arts Afloat in a highly visible location for children and
families to enjoy, The Children’s Museum hopes to increase access
to contemporary public art.
Located at The Children’s Museum on the Fort Point
Channel waterway, Camp on the Channel connects
children from Boston’s neighborhoods including
Chinatown, Roxbury, South Boston and the South
End, to Boston’s downtown, waterfront and harbor.
Campers participate in activities that bring them into
close contact with the waterfront, life in the water, and
the businesses and institutions surrounding Fort Point
Channel, Boston Harbor and the Harbor Islands.

Camp on the Channel is funded by Mellon Trust; Spaulding & Slye Colliers and The Boston Globe Foundation.
Arts Afloat was funded by The Boston Foundation through its Arts and Audience Initiative,
as well as the LEF Foundation and the New England Foundation for the Arts’ Fund for the Arts.

If you answered the truly a-maze-ing New Balance Climb® at The
Children’s Museum, you’re correct! In February, The Children’s Museum
unveiled the new, centerpiece exhibition, a large climbing maze that replaces
the popular climbing structure that stood in the middle of the Museum for the
past 16 years.
The New Balance Climb has become a central element of the Museum’s Get
Healthy, Get Smart public awareness campaign to help children, families and
caregivers understand the essential connection between getting healthy
and getting smart. As children navigate their way from bottom to top,
the New Balance Climb encourages them to test their physical agility
and large motor skills through safe risk-taking challenges, while using
problem solving skills to plot their course. A key viewing location on
the bridge spanning the center of the exhibition
facilitates family involvement and interaction.

The New Balance Climb is sponsored by New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. of Boston, with additional support from Unistrut Corp. a division of Tyco International, Ltd.
Construction Zone!...our own mini-dig!
Set against the backdrop of the Big Dig directly outside The Children’s Museum,
Construction Zone! provides hands-on opportunities for children to learn about urban
development and to explore issues of safety on the job site.
Installed alongside the New Balance® Climb, Construction Zone! uses both life- and child-size
construction equipment, tools and gear to encourage role playing, safety awareness, career
exploration and parent/child interaction based on learning through play.
Familiar construction equipment including two life-size bobcats, a simulated iron workers steel
walk complete with safety harnesses, toy cement trucks, bulldozers and dumptrucks, bridges and
tunnels, a jackhammer, and a life-size construction trailer can be found in Construction Zone!
Children can experiment with small-scale construction activities, dress up in safety gear and hard
hats, and learn the science of building in the learning lab housed in the construction trailer.
"As many of us can remember from our childhood,
construction sites almost always draw a child's attention and curiosity. The new construction exhibit is a
great way of letting young people pursue that curiosity
first hand on life-like machines and a construction
site," said Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
"It will provide children with one more
opportunity for learning outside the
classroom which is so important
to every child’s development."

Construction Zone! is funded by William A. Berry & Son, Inc., with additional funding from Liberty Mutual Group, Millipore Foundation and Bobcat of Boston.

World Music Month
for kids!
Hundreds of Boston-area families joined The
Children’s Museum during the month of May to celebrate World Music Month! Presented in collaboration with Young Audiences, the leading source for arts
outreach programs in New England and a vital link
between Massachusetts’ best performing artists and
the region’s school children, World Music Month featured live international music
to bridge cultures, neighborhoods and families.
Each weekend, a different Young Audiences’ group performed American,
Bolivian, Brazilian or Caribbean music at The Children’s Museum. The sounds
of music from around the globe brought delight to the crowds!
Sixty percent of The Children’s Museum visitors are from the greater
Boston area and elsewhere in Massachusetts, 35 percent are from
elsewhere in the United States and 5 percent are from outside of the
United States.

Arthur ’s World
TM
The appeal of the Arthur book and television series transformed into an
interactive exhibit and theater program proved enormously successful for the
second year in a row! The newest elements of Arthur’s World, “Paige Turner’s
Library” and “Mr. Ratburn’s Classroom,” delighted children, school groups and
families, emphasizing the importance of literacy and the joy of reading!
“Arthur’s World”
is presented in collaboration
with Marc Brown and
.
Arthur’s World’s popularity
could only be matched by the
newest Children’s Museum
exhibition, opening on
October 29, 1999:
