Following the flood on November 13, 2025, and careful evaluation of the damage, The Children’s Museum made the difficult decision not to reopen our physical location in West Hartford.
While we explore options for a future home, our mission continues through Roaring Brook Nature Center, TCM Mobile Museum, and TCM Preschool.

The Children’s Museum Group is a Connecticut-based non-profit educational organization which includes the TCM Mobile Museum, based in Simsbury, CT, The Children’s Museum Preschool in West Hartford, CT, and Roaring Brook Nature Center in Canton, CT. We strive to inspire lifelong learning among children and their caregivers by providing experiential learning programs covering STEAM, health, nature, and the environment.
Roaring Brook Nature Center in Canton, CT is part of The Children’s Museum Group, offering families the chance to explore beautiful trails, encounter local wildlife, and engage in hands-on nature adventures throughout the year. From seasonal programs to interactive exhibits and educational activities, there’s always something new to discover for children and adults alike!
Our Mobile Museum programs bring hands-on, interactive learning experiences directly to libraries, schools, scout troops, community centers, summer camps, and beyond. Each program is carefully designed to spark curiosity and inspire discovery, and can be fully tailored to meet the unique needs, interests, and learning goals of your group. Whether it’s exploring science, STEAM, or nature, our educators make every visit memorable and engaging for learners of all ages
At The Children’s Museum Preschool, each day is filled with laughter, friendship, and hands-on exploration. Our classrooms nurture creativity and curiosity, and our community celebrates every child’s individuality. Families are an important part of the experience, joining in special events and creating meaningful memories together.
