Jen Bush
Executive Director
As the state’s only children’s museum, the
Delaware Children’s Museum offers exhibits
and rotating programming and events that
teach children the power of playful learning.
The museum uses STREAM (Science,
Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art,
Mathematics) education to help children
reach their full potential. We pride ourselves
in our accessibility to all, offering programs
providing free and discounted admission for
families and school groups in under-served communities.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
The Delaware Children’s Museum relies heavily on contributed revenue to cover their operating budget. Without sponsorship of our activities, programming and special events, the museum could not keep its doors open. We welcome sponsors and partners for all of our STREAM programs, monthly special events, and reduced and
free admission initiatives.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Many of our corporate event sponsors will be on-site during events, providing information and additional programming for our guests.
The DCM has made Wilmington Riverfront its home since 2010.
With your support, the DCM can continue to elevate all Delaware children. —Megan McGlinchey Executive Director, Riverfront Development Corporation
