2 Stepping Stones Museum for Children
Our Mission
The mission of Stepping Stones Museum for Children is to broaden and enrich the educational opportunities for children ages ten and under and enhance their understanding of the world. The museum seeks to create an environment that inspires lifelong learning, and supports parents, caregivers and educators as facilitators of children’s explorations.
To achieve its mission, the museum builds collaborations and pursues strategies that welcome all families to join in the Stepping Stones learning community. As a multidimensional resource in the region, the museum offers exhibits, programs and services that take an interactive approach to promote early learning.

Dear Friends,
“ Children’s museums are innovating and redefining the traditional museum world by creating places where all kids can learn what it takes to become global citizens and develop 21st century skills.” – Association of Children’s Museums (ACM)
As a two time recipient of the MetLife Foundation and ACM Promising Practice Award, Stepping Stones Museum for Children understands firsthand what it means to provide high quality learning experiences to the next generation of global citizens. During its first full year since the renovation and expansion project that nearly doubled the museum’s footprint, attendance for the “new” museum quickly met and exceeded its goal of serving 300,000 children, families and educators both on and offsite.
A generous multi-year grant from Xerox Foundation enabled Stepping Stones to welcome two new inbound traveling exhibits – access/ABILITY and Cyberchase – The Chase Is On!™. access/ABILITY asked visitors to celebrate the different capabilities in all of us, dispelling myths and encouraging open questioning and curiosity. Cyberchase, based on the award-winning PBS KIDS GO! animated series, presented math in a fun, kid-friendly environment, allowing children to make use of their critical thinking skills and approach math with an investigative attitude.
Stepping Stones was thrilled to build on its longtime partnership with GE Capital to further expand the reach and impact of its Healthy Children, Healthy Communities® initiative with a program called Healthy, Bright Futures. Over the next three years GE Capital’s very generous gift will provide children and their family members access to this award-winning health initiative through a multi-pronged approach that includes visits to the museum’s popular Healthyville® exhibit, onsite workshops as well as sending the traveling Healthyville mini exhibit to Title 1 elementary schools in Norwalk beginning in early 2012.
Valuable donations to this year’s annual fund made it possible for the museum’s Open Arms accessibility initiative to realize significant growth. Get Into It! FREE evenings had record-breaking attendance, attracting over 5,000 children and families who visited the museum for free on the first Thursday of each month. Stepping Stones also hosted its first Accessibility Day, which reached over 1,000 visitors and allowed families to explore accessibility through the inspirational stories of individuals who live with disabilities every day.
We could not have achieved these accomplishments without you, our supportive donors, partners and volunteers. Looking back at the significant achievements during 2011, and reflecting on the exciting opportunities that lie ahead, it is clear that Stepping Stones has become a necessary community resource. We look forward to sharing many more milestones with you and deeply appreciate your commitment to help Stepping Stones learn and grow.
Sincere regards,
Sandra Miklave Rhonda KiestBoard Chair Executive Director
