Community Outreach
Please Touch Museum prides itself on its scope of community programming and ongoing efforts to assess, design and implement programs that meet the evolving needs of children and families.
The museum is deeply committed to serving children of all socio-economic backgrounds. We do this by not only educating children but those who nurture their development – their parents, caregivers and teachers.
