Welcome to The North Carolina Children's Museum’s early learning environment for infants, toddlers, and their caregivers!
Designed for infants and toddlers (ages 0 – 5), the Nest is a place for children and caregivers to play and learn together with materials meant for exploration and experimentation. As much as possible, this is a ‘yes’ space for our youngest community members!
Discover how you can visit our space and get involved with programming!
Each session includes time for child-directed play, collaborative art and STEM projects, and group story time.
Explore everything from Parents’ Night Out to School’s Out, Camps, Junior Gardeners, Caregiver Education Resources, and monthly Garden Parties for hands‑on fun, creativity, and learning at every age.
Lend a hand and make a difference—volunteer with us to support Nest sessions, camps, Parents’ Night Out, and more enriching experiences for kids and families.
Sign up for camp at The Nest and join us for summer fun and School’s Out Camps on teacher workdays and holidays filled with hands-on learning and play.
