This has been an exciting year, and it is hard to reduce 363 days of activity and energy into only 17 pages. We are very gratified by what the Museum has accomplished, and the direction that we are taking. In this year’s report, you’ll have the chance to read about: • How we are implementing the ground breaking Race to the Top–Early Learning Challenge Grant that we received in partnership with the Commonwealth’s Department of Early Education and Care; Japanese Cherry The Caterpillars of Critter Day Building Brainstorm • Native Voices, an exhibit conceived with members of five New England tribes, Blossom Festival Eastern Massachusetts Exhibit which was developed and built in our own Roxbury production facility, and is Exhibit now travelling nationally; • Last fall’s Early Childhood Summit, co-sponsored by The Massachusetts Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Strategies for Children, and the MSPCC; • OddAnimals, a whimsical show that combined art from Boston Children’s Hospital patients along with pieces from our collection, and was displayed in our Gallery from March through June. As with last year, we are including profiles of both staff and leaders of the Museum. While visitors often interact with our engaging floor staff, the expertise behind the scenes is central to what we do, and the experiences that we are able to provide to our visitors. 90 Kids from Kyoto Boston Ballet Day The Wizard of Oz Exhibit KidsJam @Club The Museum is fortunate to be at the intersection of creative play, hands-on learning, Common and early childhood cognitive development. We are presented with the unique opportunity to take a leadership role in bridging the worlds of health, learning and creative play, making connections between communities and health and education experts, and strengthening the well-being of our children and families. At our Annual Meeting in November last year, we honored former Director Michael Spock for his leadership during the 1960s through 1980s, and the groundbreaking work that the Museum did at that time. We are approaching our Centennial in 2013 and are proud to carry on the tradition of being a national leader in the museum field. As we look forward to the year to come, we invite you to be part of our journey, and invest in the Museum with us. Sincerely, Big Apple Circus Diwali Celebration Explore Collections In the Bag Exhibit FUNraiser Event —Carole Charnow, President & CEO and Dr. Michael Yogman, Board Chair 2 3 Total visitor attendance for FY12: Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant 583,359 Boston Children’s Museum (BCM) has always been at the forefront of helping children become bright and eager learners. Back in 1973, we opened the PlaySpace exhibit to help parents see the importance of play in the development of babies and toddlers. Now, nearly forty years later, BCM is once again at the forefront of a new effort on behalf of children, this time to help prepare children and parents for kindergarten. Last spring the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care awarded Boston Children’s Museum a $600,000 Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge Grant to equip museums and libraries across the state with materials, activity ideas, and training to increase the number of high-quality, enriching experiences for their youngest visitors. In an unusual step – and one that speaks highly of BCM – the state has entrusted an informal institution of learning to take the lead to network all the children’s museums and libraries to do this work. We are connecting these institutions with early childhood advocates across the state to leverage what everyone is already doing and make it bigger and better. Together we have an opportunity to impact the achievement gap. That is, the difference – or gap – between 5-year-olds who are ready to be successful in school and those who have not had enough “experience” through playtime or in situations to master basic tasks such as how to raise your hand, make a friend, take a turn, write your name, and know your address. The state-museum-library partnership will focus on four areas: early literacy, school About Beth Fredericks readiness, interest and awareness of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Program Director, Race to the Top — Museum Math), and public awareness of the importance of early education and care (through and Libraries Project the United Way of Mass Bay and the state’s Brain Building in Progress initiative). Beth Fredericks has more than 30 years of experi- ence in early childhood education. She and her “BCM has contributed to the school readiness of thousands of students who came children were frequent visitors to Boston Children’s to the Museum to play when they were one or two years old. This is a unique and Museum in the 1980s. Since then she has been a innovative opportunity to connect early learning and development in informal teacher, advocate, and online community builder environments,” said Jeri Robinson, BCM’s vice president of Early Childhood and for Internet sites for boomers and grandparents. Family Learning. “Museums and libraries are ideal places to emphasize activities that get children ready for school success.” “Working with Jeri Robinson and Boston Children’s Museum is the frosting on my career cake,” she says. “The chance to mix my early childhood expertise, parenting education, and zest for building community makes —Beth Fredericks, Program Director, Race to the Top — this an awesome opportunity. It’s really exciting to listen to Museum and Museum and Libraries Project Library partners in a high-energy brainstorm session imagining what more they can do to encourage families to come in to play and learn.” 4 5 About Ben Durrell Native Voices Exhibit Designer/Production Manager Last January, Boston Children’s Museum opened a new cultural exhibition, Native Over the past seven years, Ben Durrell Voices: New England Tribal Families, that built on six decades of close collaboration has used his talents to design and with native communities throughout New England.

    Saki Iwamoto The moment of meaningful interaction is when children realize that there are various ways to approach a task. What happens if you try it one way? Are there other ways to approach it? What can you do to make it even better next time? My job is to give pieces of the puzzle and keep challenging children to be inquisitive. It’s the children’s job to solve the puzzles, and I’m here to scaffold their thinking, but not to build it for them. I believe that my role as an educator is to help children be critical and creative thinkers and empower them to keep trying various methods to solve problems while having fun! When I work with children who have special needs, I often try to remind myself, as well as visitors, that all children are capable of learning, but the process of learning can take different forms. Play is an awesome way to approach learning beyond what’s considered typical. I’m happy when I see children of all abilities discover their own learning capabilities. Saki Iwamoto is the Museum’s multitalented Health and Wellness Educator. She develops and manages programs that promote the health and well-being of children through developmentally appropriate play. She is also the leader of the Museum’s Morningstar Access program that welcomes children with special needs and their families to visit the Museum at times when there are few other visitors. 1 Tim Porter Prototyping is at the core of our exhibit development work. It enables us to build exhibits with confidence, knowing that they are both compelling and effective.

    ((New England Aquarium)) Annual Report 2005 ((Letter to our Supporters )) Dear Friends of the New England Aquarium: In 2005, change was all around us at the New England Aquarium. One of us, Bud, took the helm as the Aquarium’s new President and CEO in September, ready and eager to lead the Aquarium forward. We welcomed three new trustees and eleven new overseers to our two boards, adding a great deal of experience and passion for the Aquarium’s mission to present, promote and protect the world of water. Down on Central Wharf, we introduced a terrific series of theme programs (Sharks: Tales and Truths and Turtle Trek) to give visitors a whole new way to experience our exhibits. We made significant progress in modernizing key structural components of the Aquarium, saw attendance increase three percent over 2004, and continued to strengthen our finances by finishing the year with an operating surplus. We also watched the Boston waterfront take on new life as the Rose Kennedy Greenway finally began to rise from the dust and clutter of the Big Dig. Equally important, we extended the reach of our pioneering marine conservation programs, continued our longstanding efforts to protect the North Atlantic right whale, Kemp’s ridley seaturtle and other endangered species, and forged exciting part- nerships with businesses to provide consumers with seafood harvested from well-managed stocks throughout the world. All of these developments give us great confi- dence in the Aquarium’s future, and have helped lay the groundwork for a new five-year Action Plan that will be completed by the end of 2006.

Today millions of tourists walk the freedom trail with Paul Revere’s famous ride galloping through their heads. Little do they know that 85 years after the fateful lamp was lit in Old North Church, an entirely different kind of ride was taking place in the heart of Boston’s Downtown Crossing. This ride was performed by a woman seated in a nautilus-shaped boat being pulled by a beluga whale through the largest tank in the first aquarium in the United States.
