About Studio Play
Children's Museum
Founded in 2024 by Early Childhood Education Specialist Melinda Lenhart, Studio Play is designed to be a welcoming space where children of all abilities can explore, discover, and grow.
At Studio Play, we believe in “Exploring the Future of Play, Today.” Our exhibits and programs are rooted in the power of play-based learning, where children can engage in hands-on activities that encourage cognitive, social, and physical development. From STEM-focused exhibits to our sensory play areas and children’s library, every part of Studio Play is designed to support early childhood education in a fun, dynamic environment.
In addition to offering a wide range of interactive exhibits, Studio Play provides free educational classes for parents and educators in our community. These classes offer practical tools and knowledge to help adults support their children’s growth and learning at home and in the classroom.
Whether you’re visiting for the day, joining one of our workshops, or becoming a member of our community, Studio Play is a place where learning and play come together to inspire the next generation of curious minds.
OUR VISION
At Studio Play Children’s Museum, our vision is to create a world where every child, regardless of ability or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive through the power of play.
We believe that play is more than just fun—it is a vital part of early childhood development that fosters creativity, problem-solving, and social skills. Our goal is to be a leader in play-based education, providing children with engaging, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
We are committed to building an inclusive environment where all children and families feel welcome. By offering a space that celebrates diversity and encourages exploration, we aim to remove barriers to learning and inspire every child to reach their full potential.
Through our interactive exhibits, community programs, and educational resources, we are dedicated to making a lasting impact on the families we serve, helping shape the thinkers, creators, and innovators of tomorrow. Together, we are "Exploring the Future of Play, Today," and creating a foundation for a brighter, more connected future for all.
