Teachers

Imagine a place where children can experience culture, history, technology, & nature via hands-on experiences, in a purpose-built, colourful, innovative and stimulating environment...this is our vision.

Children's Discovery is an incorporated entity staffed by volunteer business people, educators, parents and grandparents who have a vision to build Sydney's children and families a world class educational and cultural museum by 2007. In the meantime, we organise hands-on discovery activities around Sydney for children of all ages.

Sydney needs Children's Discovery Museum. No existing venue has the child as the core of its endeavour. Children's Discovery will:

• welcome children with our friendly staff, exciting hands-on exhibits and dazzling shows
• be child-sized and accessible waterproof and most importantly safe
• be a source of inspiration for teachers
• provide activities that attract and stimulate interaction between children and their parents
• have a variety of spaces - some will be loud or quiet, wet and messy or dark and gloomy to augment the experience for the child
• fill a unique niche as there is currently no institution in Australia on this scale to serve the educational and developmental needs of children
• create a place where the voices of children are heard and to make them feel important and involved, to give free reign to innovative behaviour and to allow their creativity to flourish;
• contribute to the development of the young citizens of Australia.

You can help us make Children's Discovery happen by volunteering or showing your support. For more information, see out supporters' page.
