Our Vision…

Heart of Play honors childhood and believes that a safe, play environment is vital for learning, joy, and a flourishing community. To achieve this, Heart of Play is dedicated to creating an accessible and innovative play-based children’s museum and community hub that fosters intergenerational connections and encourages mutual learning for all ages.

At HOP

we envision a world where every child thrives through the power of play. Our mission is to create a vibrant, interactive children’s museum that inspires growth and development through hands-on experiences. We design innovative indoor and outdoor environments that spark curiosity, creativity, and learning for children of all ages and abilities. HOP is a welcoming space that prioritizes accessibility, ensuring that equitable play opportunities are available to every family in our community. We believe in the transformative power of play to nurture relationships, strengthen bonds between children and their grown-ups, and foster a sense of togetherness. At HOP, we are more than just a museum; we are a dynamic hub where our community comes together to explore, learn, and grow in partnership and joy.
