The Westchester Children's Museum offers field trips aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core Math, and ELA learning standards. All Museum field trips, exhibits, and hands-on STEAM workshops are adaptable to honor and complement the ages and stages of child development from Preschool through 5th grade. Our field trips take place while the Museum is open to the general public and are conducted in a semi-guided format. Each class will have a dedicated Museum educator to lead all smaller chaperoned groups around the Museum floor.
