About this organization
Mission
To positively impact a child's potential in life through play-based education
About
The museum has welcomed over 700,000+ visitors since opening in its new location in 2009. The museum was awarded the opportunity to be a site location for the NISE Network's Earth and Space Program, which we brought out to various schools and community events, including a training that our executive director put on for preschool teachers regarding shadows. The museum provided admission discounts for over 3,500 low-income families who have an EBT card or are on WIC, removing the economic barrier to the learning environment we provide. The museum also provided admission discounts for active military personnel. It was also announced that we would be the recipient of an Imagination Playground exhibit as well as temporarily housing an Earth & Space exhibit in 2019.
