Testimonies
“It is always a pleasure collaborating with Bronx Children's Museum…it's been amazing to watch them explore their creativity and build confidence through art. Bronx Children's Museum has provided a supportive and fun environment where they've learned to express themselves in new ways, not just through drawing and painting, but also through various art cultural heritages… Many of my student's, who used to be shy, now actively participate in class and are eager to share their artwork with others. The program's focus on exploration and individual expression has truly made a difference in their lives.”
— Ms. Smith, Kindergarten teacher at PS 47
“Working with Mr. Chris and Ms. Mona from the Bronx Children’s Museum has always been a wonderful experience for my class and me… Through their thoughtful lessons in art, culture, and history, they guided us in exploring the Lenape roots of the Bronx, deepening our understanding of local heritage. Beyond facts, they emphasized the power of unity and community, inspiring my students to appreciate both the past and the values that bring people together today.”

Testimonies
My students enjoyed the environmental stewardship lesson this year. It tied nicely into our recycling unit and they had a lot of fun with it!”
— Ms. King- Allen, PreK Teacher at Garden of Learning and Discovery
“I wanted to take a moment to thank you and the Bronx Children’s Museum team for your incredible partnership. The experience truly resonated with our students—your program sparked genuine engagement by connecting them with their own surroundings in a meaningful and creative way. It was inspiring to see students so immersed in learning through the lens of their community and environment. Your approach helped them explore, reflect, and express themselves in ways that felt personal and powerful. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work together and look forward to future collaborations.”
— Principal Vincenzo Rosignano, Garden of Learning and Discovery
“The most rewarding part of my work this year was learning from the students and the teachers the impact of our program. That the topics we tackled tied into their curriculum or that they were going to use the museum's resources to further their teachings.”
— Naa Pappoe, BxCM NOTB Coordinator
