Our current Board Members' why

Stephanie LaRose: "The museum is a place that brings our family so much joy! Now with four kids and a broader age-gap, we still adore the museum. Each age has a space they enjoy and love and their imaginations run wild. I love being part of an organization that provides that for my kids."

Todd Swiontek: “This little museum means a lot to our family and I want to help my community. I have met so many people during my time here at CWCM. I love what CWCM stands for and what is provided to all the children that have fun with learning by play."

Eva Woodword-Hathaway: “After my husband and I welcomed our daughter, we were fortunate that he could be a stay-at-home parent, and he fills their days with enriching activities, including many trips to the museum. Rain or shine, the museum offers a safe, clean, engaging, and educational environment for children and their caregivers.”

Kimberly Kopplin: “The museum provides a safe, not weather-dependent, fun, and educational space for our son. I want this museum to thrive and be available not only to my own son, but generations of children to come, providing ample opportunities for children to learn through play (and without screens), which is becoming more and more important in today’s fast-paced world.”
