Our vision, as described in our strategic plan, is to broaden our reach and extend our programs to more children and their families in our region. We envision a new 15,000 square-foot facility with the following program expansions:

Playing: A rich array of permanent and regularly changing exhibits, for early learners and school-age children, that invite children to lead with their imaginations, to explore without limitation and to learn through hands-on discovery.

Learning: A large environment with an outdoor area where children can experience and learn about nature. An environment that inspires children to learn - with family-centered, child-driven programs and expanded partnerships with schools, educators, local non-profit groups and other museums. Professional workshops will be offered for the important adults in our children's lives.

Connecting: A larger center with a theatre and cultural events that encourage public engagement and sustain dynamic community partnerships. This center will enable the KidZone Museum to eliminate barriers to learning and to create a community that embraces children and their families.

Sustaining: A museum educational store and café will increase our operating income enabling us to remain a steadfast community benefit. Our new facility will give us the visibility to attract new benefactors, partners and donors - securing our future in the community.
