The mission of Long Island Children’s Museum Programs is “Connecting all our communities’ children, and those who care for them, to one another and a life of wonder, imagination and exploration. Here, children discover their passions and their relationship to the world we share.” LICM is a not-for-profit learning space devoted to the busy work of play. LICM is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) and is currently the only children’s museum in New York State, and one of 16 children’s museums nationwide, to achieve this accreditation. The museum earned the 2023 Platinum Candid Seal of Transparency and Four-Star Status on Charity Navigator, received Accreditation from AAM in 2021, an Excellence in Exhibition award from AAM in 2016, the National Medal for Museum and Library Service in 2012, and the Association of Children’s Museums’ Promising Practices award in 2008 for its exhibition “Our Backyard.” The New York State Council on the Arts has recognized LICM for its excellence by designating it as a Primary Institution. LICM received the Education Partner award from the Board of Cooperative Educational Services of Nassau County (BOCES) and was named a recipient of the 2025 Neighborhood Builders Award by the Bank of America Charitable Foundation.
