children can experience a safe, playful environment where they are empowered to make their own choices
and encouraged to take risks while exploring free of criticism.
The Museum provides a safe, creative, engaging space for children to gain mastery over their bodies, develop
their minds through sensory play, and acquire skills that help them grow into healthy, productive and happy adults.
In addition to housing award-winning exhibits, more than 600 educational programs and activities are provided
each year to over 180,000 participants. With your support, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix will continue to
engage the minds, muscles and imaginations of children and the grown-ups who care about them.
This evening’s program will include the presentation of the Museum’s Kids at Heart Award to its 2014
recipients – Tom Ambrose and UnitedHealthcare. This prestigious award honors an individual and
corporation or foundation for their commitment to children and learning through play.

The Importance of Play
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning.
Play is really the work of childhood.” — FRED (MR.) ROGERS
Physical activity helps children grow strong and healthy
• Running, jumping, climbing, rolling and catching helps build muscles
• Burns energy
• Helps children eat and sleep better
• Improves strength, coordination, endurance and balance
Children learn about the meaning of things in the world
• Learn what words mean (stop – go; full – empty)
• Learn about time and discover how things feel and taste
• Learn about art, science, math, music, nature, animals and people
Girls and boys begin to understand themselves and others
• Act out feelings, learn to share, take turns, listen and follow rules
• Discover meaning of leading and following
• Understand what they like and don’t like
• Pretend what it’s like to be someone else, like a doctor, mother, teacher or fireman
Helps kids feel good about themselves
• Easier to learn when relaxed and having fun
• Kids become excited when they recognize that they can control their bodies and actions
• “I did it!” means “I feel good about me”
Play is practice for being a grown-up
• Learn to pay attention and stick with a job
• Face and solve problems, follow directions, learn right from wrong and not to cheat
• Develop imagination
