EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Our educational approach encourages visitors to imagine, create, and share. We move from the conventional approach of play to one of invention, promoting collaboration over independence and engagement over isolation.
CONNECTING FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES
We are located in one of the world’s most culturally diverse and creative cities. Children and families — from all backgrounds, communities, and income levels — have the opportunity to work side by side to create a dynamic and creative learning environment. This provides an ideal platform for collaboration, inclusion, and the celebration of each person’s unique talents.
