PCM Accessibility

PCM Accessibility

Access for All

Providence Children’s Museum is committed to ensuring that all children have access to the benefits of play, regardless of their financial circumstances. We offer free or reduced-price admission to 40% of our visitors, reaching a highly diverse audience. PCM is dedicated to meeting this need, but the cost of providing free or reduced-price admission is significant. We rely heavily on grants and sponsorships to support maintaining our current level of accessibility while continuing robust offerings of educational and cultural programming.
PCM is grateful to our Access Program community partners. Your generous support of Providence Children’s Museum’s Access Program transforms lives by ensuring that the joy of play and learning remains accessible to all Rhode Island families. Because of your commitment to equity in our community, we proudly welcome 40% of our visitors at free or reduced admission rates, allowing children of all backgrounds to experience the wonder of hands-on discovery and creative exploration. Your partnership demonstrates a profound understanding that every child deserves the opportunity to learn through play, and we are deeply grateful for your role in making this possible.
