Habitot Benefits Families
At its core, Habitot is about helping all young children in our community reach their potential. That means investing in the whole family.
Habitot Children’s Museum provides hands-on arts and “maker” activities, STEM explorations, and cultural programs. It’s a place where imaginations grow, children become creative thinkers, and parents are supported with opportunities to shine as their children’s first, amazing teachers.
“The traditional support system for parents has all but disappeared, and with it the myth of instinctive parenting. Parenting is neither instinctive nor simple, and everyone needs help.”
— Nick Carter, Parents Inc., Pew Charitable Trust report
At Habitot, we’re confident that by gathering families together to learn from one another, and by providing easy access to workshops with experts, the Habitot community can ameliorate the disappearance of the traditional support system.
