At the Pikes Peak Children's Museum, we are committed to creating an environment that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive for all members of our community. We believe that every child and family has the right to feel welcome and valued, and we strive to create a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected. To achieve this goal, we are committed to:
-
Embracing diversity: We celebrate the unique differences in each child and family who walks through our doors, including differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, religion, and socioeconomic status.
-
Creating an inclusive environment: We are dedicated to creating a space where every child and family feels welcome and included, regardless of their background or identity.
-
Providing equitable access: We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality educational experiences, regardless of their family's financial situation. We strive to remove barriers to access and provide opportunities for all children to learn and grow.
