Miss Yvonne and Miss Mattie We would like to thank two women who played significant roles in our early childhood programs. This spring, Yvonne Atkinson retired after 15 years at the Museum. Best known as Miss Yvonne, she was the driving force behind many of our early childhood education programs. Through sensory play, songs, and movement, Miss Yvonne provided our youngest visitors with engaging and supportive experiences. In fact, in 2015 Kidsburgh named Yvonne one of Pittsburgh’s early childhood educators that can change your family's life. Yvonne’s mother, Mattie Powell, was a longtime Museum volunteer and assistant to Yvonne. Sadly, Miss Mattie passed away in September, leaving behind a legacy of service. These remarkable women brought so much joy to the children, parents, and staff at the Yvonne Atkinson and her mother, Mattie Powell Children’s Museum, and their warmth and kindheartedness will be missed by everyone whose lives they touched. Dear Friends, It’s been another exciting year at the Children’s Museum! Thanks to the hard work of our incredible board and staff, we continue to be a nationally-recognized leader in research, education and design of museum experiences. Michael Duckworth, Though our national reputation has grown, many of the most important lessons are learned Board President, at home within the Museum walls and in the surrounding community. Our MAKESHOP, presents at the Great Night Gala. and its partnerships with local organizations like Hosanna House and Action Housing, have shown children of all ages and backgrounds that they too can be a maker, a learner, a creator. Our groundbreaking work in education has led to another groundbreaking of sorts: the renovation of the neighboring Carnegie Library into the world’s first Museum Lab for learning. Projected to open in early 2019, Museum Lab will allow for more complex museum experiences for older children. The hope is that through these experiences and our educational research, we will continue to transform education for children of every age, not only in Pittsburgh, but across the country. I look forward to helping the Children’s Museum continue to grow and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
