“a hands on learning environment”
Wonder Works provides a hands-on learning environment intended to strengthen the social, emotional and intellectual development of children up to age eight. The 6400 sq ft museum includes exhibits, educational programming and a children's party room. Wonder Works knows that because a child's brain is extremely impressionable, much more so than an adult's, early learning is vital to a child's development. With five "experience zones" plus an outdoor organic garden, Wonder Works gives kids plenty to explore. In North Avenue Art Works, kids can draw, paint and make crafts. In Farm to Market, children "harvest" fruits and vegetables, transport them and set up a shop to sell or barter. And in Lights, Camera, Action!, kids can dress up and perform a song, dance or play. (We also have a puppet theater built by Oak Design and Construction.) Given that researchers believe 80 percent of a child's brain development takes place by age five, Wonder Works is a particularly important component of early childhood learning.
