| A visit to the Santa Fe Children's Museum offers an opportunity to observe your children in a relaxed, informal setting. Watch them play and learn. They will tell you what inspires and interests them through their actions and reactions. Learning in the museum is fundamentally different from learning in a classroom. There are no stated "learning goals." Rather, museum learning has been characterized as spontaneous, individualized, self-paced, voluntary, nonlinear, and exploratory. At the Children's Museum we believe that children learn best when they can be self-motivated, have fun, and experience the satisfaction of searching for answers to questions they formulate for themselves. |
