Why We’re Jumping for Joy
“I am thrilled! Given the current challenges we are all facing, this is a great solution for the Museum, for funders and for families. We gain more space and realize a rent savings, giving us more room and resources to do what we do best: play. Our supporters are funding more direct services rather than just bricks and mortar. For families, that means more room to play in a new, enhanced space and in Pierce County’s neighborhoods at our expanding Play to Learn program.” “We couldn’t be more pleased. Our community told us what they wanted and we’re making it happen by securing a larger, more visible downtown location and pairing it with aggressive outreach. This is the right size move for the Museum and our community.” The move to a new, larger space also fulfills objectives of the Museum's five-year Strategic Plan. It's just one of the priorities that will allow us to increase capacity, audience and access; promote fun, learning and the wonder of childhood; and demonstrate innovation, playfulness and excellence.Joanne Bamford, 2009-2010 Board President Stay Informed Our website's News section offers insights from the media about our selection.
