Eight Waves hosted its Night at the Children’s Museum event Sept. 12 at the Ocoee Lakeshore Center.
The magical night was filled with captivating entertainment, a thrilling live auction and a delicious dinner accompanied by specialty cocktails.
However, the most highly anticipated part of the enchanting evening was the unveiling of the nonprofit’s new interactive discovery center, which is dedicated to fostering literacy, art and imaginative play.
The Eight Waves Children’s Museum will offer interactive and affordable experiences that inspire learning, skill development and creativity for all children.
The museum will be a hands-on, literacy-focused play experience designed for children and families, featuring an abundance of interactive pretend play, dramatic games and fun activities for families.
Examples of the exhibits include the Playful Story Patch, which will offer thrilling literacy adventures where children can immerse themselves in beloved books through real-life play, and the Wonders & Wacky Workshop, which will allow creative minds to explore a wide variety of new and recycled art supplies to craft their own unique masterpieces.
Additionally, children can participate in interactive workshops, enjoy story time sessions and explore book corners, ensuring there's always something new and exciting to discover at the museum.
Eight Waves invests in the lives of children, youth and families who live in under-resourced communities by working together, building the healthy support systems they need to thrive, and empowering them to create lasting change in their own lives and communities. The organization envisions a community where every child experiences a variety of positive and encouraging opportunities.
