2026–2028 Strategic Plan
An open letter to our communities
At the heart of the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire is a simple, powerful belief: that play is essential to learning, and that every child deserves a place to imagine, explore, and grow.
As we look to the future, we are proud to present this strategic plan—a roadmap that reflects our commitment to creating joyful, engaging experiences for all children and families in our community. This plan is the result of deep listening, thoughtful collaboration, and a shared vision of what’s possible when curiosity leads the way.
Our world is changing rapidly, and so are the needs of the families we serve. Now more than ever, CMNH must be responsive, inclusive, innovative, and sustainable. This strategic plan outlines how we will rise to meet that challenge—by strengthening our programs, expanding access, deepening community partnerships, and ensuring our long-term environmental and financial health.
Each goal within this plan is rooted in our commitment to anticipate change, embrace innovation, and build programs that reflect the dynamic communities around us. Through this work, we reaffirm our role not just as a children’s museum, but as a trusted resource, a community hub, and a beacon of opportunity for generations to come.
We are excited to move forward together—with our visitors, partners, supporters, and team members—as we bring this vision to life. Thank you for being part of the journey.
