Imagine's Mission & Vision

Commitment to Children, Family, & Community

The Story of Imagine and How it Began

Imagine Children's Museum was born out of the creative vision of Taylor Etchemendy, Owner/Director of INSPIRE Bilingual Early Learning Center.  Taylor was born and raised in Taos and has spent her professional career supporting the well-being of families and children in the Taos community.

Using the inspiration and work of Reggio Emilia, Taylor has committed to fostering a love of learning that will stay with children throughout their lives by emphasizing the importance of respecting and valuing the many "languages" of children, including art, movement, and play.

Taylor's vision is to empower children and families by creating an environment to encourage curiosity, creativity, and exploration. She is also dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where all children and families can thrive.
