North Carolina deserves a state of the art children’s museum serving its youngest citizens, their families, educators and researchers.

The North Carolina Children’s Museum envisions its future on the rolling hills, open fields and forest’s edge at its new property located on Mount Carmel Church Road in Chapel Hill. The site is bursting with potential, opening doors to boundless, whole-life learning experiences. We envision this place centered around connections—connections to the land, connections to our community, connections to innovative research and best practice in early childhood education, and connections to every person’s imagination and sense of wonder. This is an opportunity to curate a children’s museum that is recognized across North Carolina, the Southeast, and the entire nation.
