Applications for the 2002 Promising Practice Award must be postmarked by
Monday, February 11, 2002! The MetLife Foundation and Association of
Children's Museums Promising Practice Award rewards excellence and provides
recognition for innovative and creative practices in children's museums;
promotes management practices that support alternative and creative
programming; builds a body of knowledge of exemplary programs and practices;
and establishes models for the advancement of the children's museum field

and diverse ways in which children's museums advance some of the common
values we share as a field: to preserve childhood, to promote lifelong
learning through play, and to build community.
