“It’s an inspiring place that serves all of the children in our region, and their parents, providing an experience that arouses their intellectual curiosities. “
— Irwin Jacobs, Founder, Qualcomm
“I chose to get involved with NCM because of the lack of arts experience for children in public school. I grew up with exposure to the arts, and I’m concerned about today’s public school children and where they will get the same experience.”
— Kris Dickenson, NCM Board Member
“Our experience with the New Children's Museum encouraged my students to give their ideas shape and to look at their world with a new perspective."
— Rob Corona, Third Grade Teacher, Washington Elementary
“It’s always good to see organizations that have come such a long way from a very small beginning and achieved so much. The fact that the Museum’s been able to do that, I think is deserving of support.”
— Irwin Jacobs, Founder, Qualcomm
“The level of support on the board has impressed me. NCM has developed a different type of board, and it is unlike any other I have seen. They have attracted high-level, young, arts supporters that make up a strong board.”
— Michelle Brega, SVP-Corporate Social Responsibility Market Manager, Bank of America
“It’s important in any not-for-profit organization to look at the board, look at the parental involvement, to ensure there is a large support base. When you make a donation you know it’s going to have a leveraging effect.”
— Irwin Jacobs, Founder, Qualcomm
“The entire board is so strong. Every member is smart, talented, and busy, but still finds time to make this place a priority.”
— Olivia Hansen, NCM Board Member
“At first I thought it was a weird concept, but then I brought my kids, and learned that it works! The activities here are something that sticks with a 6-year-old, which is incredible at a time when there are so many distractions for kids.”
— Mick Farrell, NCM Board Member
“My son is a different child since going to camp here. His teachers even said he was able to share more of himself. It changed his life. He became a risk taker and confident in the unique person he is.”
— Olivia Hansen, NCM Board Member
“We came with our three grandchildren…and joined them in loving almost everything. So whimsical, so hands-on, so green!
— Melesse & Bob Traylor, NCM Visitors
“What a happy place for our city and children.”
— Colleen Richards, NCM Visitor
“This is the best day of my life!”
— Abby, NCM Visitor, Age 6
