By WOW! Museum November 4, 2020


WOW! Children’s Museum (World of Wonder) is pleased to announce that the Museum has partnered with Children’s Hospital Colorado on a new and improved Kids Clinic exhibit space. This redesigned interactive play space encourages children to explore health and wellness by taking on the role of patient or doctor. Children’s Hospital Colorado’s partnership with the Kids Clinic directly supports WOW!’s dedication to the healthy development of young children and their families.  

Just like a real clinic, the Kids Clinic exhibit is equipped with an exam table, medical tools, hand washing  station, x-rays, and check-in station. The exhibit also features hands-on stations with developmentally appropriate communication about anatomy, sugary drinks, and dental health. The Kids Clinic exhibit encourages role-play and child-directed exploration as well as helps children feel more confident and  comfortable about going to a clinic or doctor’s office. 

“We are so grateful for the support of Children’s Hospital Colorado,” said Joanna Cagan, Executive  Director, WOW! Children’s Museum. “We know that children learn best through play, and this improved exhibit space provides so many opportunities for young children and their families to joyfully explore ways  to stay healthy and happy. We cannot think of a better community partner when it comes to promoting  children’s health and wellbeing.” 

“We are excited about partnering with WOW! Children’s Museum. This partnership gives us the  opportunity to bring education and resources to kids and families in their own communities,” said Christy  Dobson, Executive Director of Corporate and Community Relations at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “This is  a way for us to teach kids about the importance of taking care of their own health and wellness in a fun  and engaging way.”
