Children's Creativity Museum
The Children’s Creativity Museum (CCM) is located in the heart of San Francisco's 7x7. For 25+ years, CCM (originally Zeum) has been a cornerstone of downtown San Francisco, serving children, youth, and families through play-based learning, hands-on design challenges, and live, family-friendly theater. The only children's museum in San Francisco, CCM is a community-centered nonprofit 501(c)(3), empowering children and youth to build creative confidence and share their voices. Our mission is to nurture creativity and collaboration in all children and families and our educational programming is infused with our “Imagine-Create-Share” creativity cycle: design thinking combined with best practices in early learning. Play experiences in our Creativity Museum, Creativity Theater, and outreach engagements encourage children, youth, and families to explore their passions, express their emotions, problem-solve, work together in teams, and develop their own sense of agency to support lifelong learning. Our theory of change nurtures children’s creative confidence through thoughtfully-designed activities, interactions with caring adults using open-ended inquiry, and sufficient time to get into creative “flow.” We can't wait to Imagine-Create-Share with you on your next visit to the Children's Creativity Museum!
