Mission

Our mission is to provide an interactive play and hands-on learning museum where we provide a child-centered environment to inspire children’s creativity, curiosity, imagination and a love for life-long learning.

We are building a community-supported place where play and learning are forever connected for all the children and families in Lykens Valley.

Our vision is to:

-- Create a community where children have access to resources that they need to become creative, curious, inventive and healthy children who will be ready for the ever-changing world
-- Create a joy and passion for lifelong learning
-- Emphasize early childhood education and school readiness
-- Promote the learning and development of the whole child during some of the most pivotal and formative years of life
