With their fun and exciting programs, they invite more kids to have a lot of happy times being with them, and their caregivers as well.

When it was started, the place was in the converted bus and it grows because more kids got interested to visit and play for fun and learning. The organization leased a permanent place where to build a bigger one for the children as they are increasing to visit yearly. They open the newly renovated place in January 1975 and in 1984 expanded again and built another building for its continued growth.

Because of its continued support to children, they have been producing 100% of visitors annually and already reached approximately to over 26 million children and families. However, the museum only ranks second due to lack of cultural and ethnic enhancement.

Now, they are offering eleven interactive playscapes, monthly themed programs, and special events to have fun. Not only that, the caregivers are provided by some books, magazines, pamphlets and web materials on early childhood development. Also, they had conducted more programs and was accomplished successfully
