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.

To bring this vision to life, I am seeking financial support through this GoFundMe campaign. The funds raised will be used to secure a location, design and equip the play areas, and develop programs that cater to the specific needs of children with Autism, ADHD, and other developmental differences. Your contribution will help create a place where every child can feel valued and included, and where parents can find the resources they need to support their child's development.

I believe that by creating this inclusive children's museum, we can make a profound impact on the lives of many children and their families. Thank you for considering supporting this project and for helping to make this dream a reality.

Currently, Studio Play Children's Museum is applying for 501(c)(3) status, using the first $600 of funds to pay for filing and processing fees.
