About us | In all that we do, VDM aims to be: Educational: Our Educational Advisory Committee, consisting of staff and board members, as well as local educators, drives all of our content creation, from exhibits, to events and programming. Our offering is designed to be scalable for all learning levels and corresponds to the Virginia Standards of Learning. Inclusive: We are a resource for all the children of our community, as we understand that children learn best in a diverse environment. We seek to meet the interests, needs and abilities of all the children we serve, and to create an environment in which differences are celebrated. Child-Focused: We exist at the intersection of learning and play, where children learn through hands-on experiences and imaginative exploration. We offer high-quality exhibits, events and programming in a clean, safe environment. Community-Based: We collaborate closely with local schools, social service agencies, cultural institutions and governing groups to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the children of our community. Through our Free Admission Program and Camp Scholarship Fund, we make the museum and our programs accessible to all. |
