Families First

Families First Learning Lab will occupy the 2nd Floor of the new facility alongside spectrUM Discovery Area. Each partner in the new facility brings strengths and areas of expertise that collectively propel us one step closer to the shared goal of closing knowledge, opportunity, and achievement gaps for Missoula children and families.

While Families First Learning Lab will no longer be a traditional “children’s museum” it WILL BE an inspirational place of learning, growth, and development for families. For the first time in our 25 year history, family education will happen in the same space as hands on learning through play experiences, giving parents a chance to model the skills they learn in workshops with their children. Activities for children and families will be intentional and meaningful and will meet the following goals:

Build parenting knowledge and skills through workshops and multi session classes

Provide a place and opportunities for social connection

Develop social-emotional skills in children through hands on learning through play experiences

Link families to professional support systems in time of need

Build parental resilience by providing tools and resources to build confidence to navigate challenging times

The 2nd floor will also feature a unique DNA climbing structure, water learning ecosystem, a dramatic play exhibit with rotating themes and activities, private consultation rooms, a classroom space for family education workshops and so much more. We can not wait to welcome you and your family to the new facility!
