Our Staff
Staff
The Museum employs floor staff whom we playfully call “Playologists”. These hard-working, play-seeking individuals, many with backgrounds in early childhood development and education, are trained to assist our visitors in having the best time possible and more importantly, to facilitate play! You will find them stationed throughout the Museum in the Museum’s uniform of turquoise tie dye shirts and khaki pants.
Leadership
Our Board of Directors is a committed and professionally diverse group of community leaders who have a keen interest in and understanding of the importance of early childhood education. The Museum is fortunate to have this prestigious group of individuals working on behalf of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix.
