Our Mission
The mission of the Escondido Children’s Museum is to
inspire children to learn about our world through exploration,
experimentation and imagination.
Our Vision
The Escondido Children’s Museum fills a community need
by offering a wholesome, educational and appealing gathering
place for families, schools, and other groups that serve children.
ECM programs and exhibits cultivate school readiness and lifelong
learning. As only a children’s museum can, ECM affirms
diverse children as they develop and helps them understand
the world they will inherit.
