Learning Philosophy

At Stepping Stones, play is serious business. We understand that children learn best by doing. Our Learning Framework is a strong set of foundational ideas that guides the planning of all of the museum’s experiences — exhibits, programs, events and partnerships.


Learning through Play
At Stepping Stones, play is serious business. We understand that children learn best by doing. All exhibits and programs are designed to promote active inquiry and investigation through three interacting elements:

  • Play is the natural way that children explore, discover and develop.
  • An interdisciplinary mix of arts, sciences, culture and literacy offers experiences that overlap and interact, spanning multiple subjects and skills.
  • Interdisciplinary discovery tools help facilitate children’s explorations and discoveries.
