Habitot is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization that relies on tax-deductible donations for its existence. Admissions, memberships and other earned revenue cover only half of operational costs. Habitot Children's Museum was founded
by
parents
and
educators
in
1992
to
meet
the
unique
needs
and
interests
of
infants,
toddlers
and
preschoolers
in
a
safe
and
appropriate
community
setting.
Habitot
opened
its
first
facility
in
downtown
Berkeley
in
1998,
after
six
years
of
community
outreach
and
fundraising.
Habitot
Childrenbs
Museum
has
become
the
most
popular
and
award-winning
childrenbs
museum
in
the
East
Bay.
Habitot
founders
have
created
a
hands-on
play
and
learning
center
where
young
children
are
the
bbig
kidsb
--
exploring
the
arts
and
culture
in
a
safe
setting
designed
for
especially
small
hands
and
bodies
and
growing
minds.
Our
vision
for
an
expanded
home
for
Habitot
Childrenbs
Museum
Today,
Habitot
is
at
a
crossroads.
Our
rented,
basement-level
museum
in
downtown
Berkeley
is
filled
to
capacity
and
there
is
no
room
to
grow.
The
need
is
great
for
a
larger,
more
enriching
museum
to
serve
families
with
young
children.
To
fulfill
its
vision,
Habitot
must
find
a
new
home.
Habitotbs
board
of
directors
is
actively
working
toward
moving
the
museum
into
its
own
larger,
stand-alone
facility
in
the
next
three
to
five
years.
We
estimate
that
it
will
cost
five
to
seven
million
dollars
to
secure
and
build
out
the
new
museum.
Our
Mission
Early
Childhood
Learning

children,
