The mission of the Flint Children's Museum is to inspire a love for learning and awaken imagination through exploration and hands-on play by:
Helps children develop cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through hands-on, developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
Lights the spark of curiosity and discovery that inspires lifelong learning.
Is representative of a unique multidisciplinary institution, as children’s museums are redefining how to teach the arts, humanities, and sciences in interactive and engaging ways.
Is an environment where families connect in meaningful ways through educational play.
Builds social capital, and encourages children to share their talents and points of view.
Strengthens cultural awareness and diversity through the welcoming of all children and families, regardless of ability, background, belief, ethnicity or family structure.
Strengthens community resources that educate and care for children especially where programs have been reduced or completely eliminated from schools and libraries due to budget constraints.
Reduces economic barriers as a sought–after local and travel destination with discounted or free admission for low–income families.
