General information

• Research proves that play is a powerful factor in helping kids learn and grow effectively, and our community needs more play-friendly environments. - Studies show children who engage in experimental play have better social skills, improved literacy, reduced stress and increased success in life. - 85% of brain development occurs by age 3, and kids learn more between ages 4-5 than ages 6-18 combined. - More than half of local kids have never traveled more than three miles from home, which means their experiences and behavior are most likely limited to their surroundings. - Studies show communities our size need a certain amount of children’s museum space, but Peoria currently has none.
