Visitor Spotlight: Nicole, Alex, Minty, Navah & Nasir
“Visitor Spotlight: Nicole, Alex, Minty, Navah & Nasir” from “The Scoop: News from KidsPlay Children’s Museum,” Winter 2024/25.
As a homeschool parent, finding activities that keep your children engaged is incredibly important – but it can also be a big challenge!
“I’m always looking for different ways to keep their interest,” says Nicole, mother of Alex, Minty, Navah, and Nasir. “That’s part of what we love about KidsPlay – every few months there’s something new for my kids to enjoy.”
Nicole has been a KidsPlay visitor since her oldest was a toddler and has watched the Museum grow alongside her family. With children from ages 4 to 11, she appreciates that KidsPlay’s exhibits appeal to a variety of ages. “There’s something for every age,” she says. “We can stay for hours.” KidsPlay’s variety of exhibits also means that Nicole can target different areas to align with her homeschool curriculum; she recalls playing in Block City and the Maker Space to work on her children’s spatial awareness and fine motor skills.
Over the years, Nicole and her family have come to feel at home at KidsPlay. She especially appreciates the patience and friendliness of KidsPlay’s Guest Service staff. “The people that work here are so nice and so helpful. I’ve never been greeted without a smile.”
