TEAM Member Benefits

Growing Character through Curiosity

We believe that learning led by curiosity, hands-on exploration, and sharing is transformative. Curiosity is central to our ability to learn and interact with our environment. We foster curiosity through experiences that are fun, interactive, and engaging.

What Thanksgiving Point is doing:

  • Creating cards for care givers to take home that contain STEM lesson ideas that will cultivate the Curiosity at home
  • Implementing Curiosity in our Exhibits and Programming
  • Integrating the Curiosity into trainings and job expectations
  • Conducting surveys for on-property and off-property programming and outreach to determine the impact of Curiosity development

What you can do:

  • Read a book this month that expands your understanding of the world and other peoples’ lived experiences.
  • Learn from your mistakes.  Start with accepting that they are just opportunities to grow!
  • Find out about other roles on property by visiting the HR office ask what other people do.

“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.” – Elenor Roosevelt
