关于我们

Pretend City Children’s Museum features a small, interconnected city designed to “build better brains” through purposeful play, hands-on learning experiences, role playing, and educational programming. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization serving all children, it depends on community-based funding and guest support. Through 17 interactive exhibits and activities guided by a highly trained professional staff, children learn foundational math, reading and science skills, while fostering curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, organization, teamwork, self-confidence and socialization. The museum is a unique community resource offering developmental screenings and tools for families, educators and community agencies working to ensure that each child gains the experiences needed to discover their potential and build toward a productive and fulfilling future.

  • Our Donor Spotlight showcases the incredible generosity and diversity of our supporters and highlight the impacts their contributions make to Pretend City. It’s our way of celebrating those who help bring our mission to life! This month we are highlighting the Topacio Family! Giving back has always been important to us. After learning just how much Pretend City does for our community, we knew we had to be part of their story. We started with a family membership, allowing us to enjoy and benefit from their programming. Seeing the positive impact firsthand with our daughter (who just turned four), we felt compelled to contribute even more—leading us to become proud members of the City Lights giving circle.?This way, we can support Pretend City’s mission and help ensure that they continue to provide their invaluable services to our community.

  • Join us for FREE training to Unlock the Power of Perspective: An Anti-Bias Workshop for Caregivers presented by Dr. Ruben Cortez from Pacific Oaks College. ? Our brains naturally use bias to make sense of the world—it’s how we process information quickly. But here’s the catch: bias can shrink our understanding of the world into rigid, "either-or" choices, limiting the potential we see in people and situations. As caregivers, we play a pivotal role in shaping how children view the world. Imagine fostering an environment where children see boundless possibilities, embrace diversity, and approach life with curiosity and empathy. ? In this interactive workshop, we’ll: ? Unpack the science behind bias and its role in our daily lives. Reflect on how our experiences influence the way we see others. Discover strategies to help children grow with an open mind, free from limiting stereotypes. ? Join us to explore how you can nurture a child’s natural sense of wonder while guiding them toward a more inclusive and unbiased perspective of the world around them. Together, let’s help the next generation see the extraordinary in everyone and everything. ? Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/gRV8KR54
