Providence Children's Museum is a private, non-profit educational organization based in Providence, Rhode Island, founded in 1977. It operates as Rhode Island's only hands-on museum for children and their grown-ups, offering exhibits and programs in arts, culture, history and science designed around the developmental needs of children ages 1 to 11. The museum emphasizes inclusive access and partnerships with families and schools to support learning through play, creativity, and exploration.

Its audience includes children in southern New England and the adults who care for them, with services aimed at making learning accessible across cultural, physical, and economic barriers. In 2022, the museum launched a play-based therapy program intended to help children explore their feelings and support mental health. In 2023, the museum partnered with the Rhode Island Black Storytellers to engage and educate visitors about Black history.
