Visitors also can get close to nature by visiting Charlotte Nature Museum, adjacent to Freedom Park and located in one of the community’s finest residential areas. Charlotte Nature Museum visitors may walk among free-flying butterflies, observe live animals, buzz around with insects or hang out in the natural world. Daily programming including puppet shows and hands-on activities provide the opportunity for structured learning and informal play for the young and old alike. The first Discovery Place KIDS museum opened in Huntersville, N.C., in October 2010 and is the first in a planned network of regional children’s museums. Providing an extraordinary and rich play experience that engages children’s imagination and inspires learning, the Museum is designed to serve children and their parents or caregivers.

The Baby Box Co. is the first company to offer traditional Baby Boxes to consumers outside of Finland and is proud to share this special, lifesaving tradition with parents worldwide. The Baby Box Co. is the only accredited supplier of tested, safe-certified Baby Boxes anywhere in the world. In addition to our accreditations, The Baby Box Co. is unique because we emphasize the importance of education and ongoing support for parents. We are so proud of our product, but Baby Boxes aren`t in and of themselves magical with the ability to unilaterally improve healthcare outcomes! To affect meaningful change with Baby Box programs requires thoughtful integration of Baby Box distribution into the existing community infrastructure and providing parents with universal access to education materials. At our core, we strongly believe that community is transformational and that people working together have the ability to improve maternal and infant health trends. To this end, we have an internal education department at The Baby Box Co. which works in close partnership with local healthcare professionals to ensure that our programs are tailored to the unique needs of every community we serve. The Baby Box is an incredible intervention tool that is so much more than a singular safe sleep resource; it is an incentive for mothers to seek regular prenatal check-ups and it is a precious opportunity for healthcare providers to engage more effectively with new parents in their care.
