Our Commitment to Diversity
Habitot Children's Museum is a community resource where
all families raising young children are welcome. You are included
without regard to race, age, gender, physical ability, sexual
orientation, family structure, citizenship, or socioeconomic
background.
- We expect our visitors to embrace and welcome this diversity, and to reach out and learn from it, without bias or prejudice towards others.
- We acknowledge and appreciate that there are cultural and class differences in parenting.
- At the same time, Habitot advocates an empathetic approach to parenting, where the whole child is accepted and loved for his or her unique abilities and interests.
By fostering dialog and active engagement between diverse families, Habitot aims to strengthen the common bond we share in raising the next generation.
