WHEN I AM...
At the Children’s Museum of Atlanta, we believe that play is important to healthy brain and physical development of all children. Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It is through play that children engage and interact with the world around them.
