The Boston Children's Museum serves as an invaluable resource to the many after-school programs, healthcare providers, homeless shelters and schools in the Boston metro area. Too many children do not have the chance to learn outside the classroom, to play with other kids, or enjoy a carefree day of fun with their families. The Sponsored Visits Program at the Boston Children's Museum opens our doors to kids who would not be able to afford a visit so that they, too, can take advantage of the opportunities for fun and hands-on learning that we provide. Our programs and exhibits teach kids how to engage with the world they live in through programming and exhibits in visual arts, theater, science, math, physical fitness, and diversity in Boston as they play with their friends and families. As funding for these critical initiatives is cut in area schools and after-care programs, the Boston Children's Museum continues to expand the number of free visits we can provide to kids in need.

The Boston Children's Museum would like to thank all of our Sponsored Visits Program donor companies for their consistent commitment to our mission, programs and facilities. Through their help, we bring together the best resources of early childhood education and our unique urban environment to benefit Boston's kids.
