About Us
It’s simple. We want children all across Yuma to play, explore, and imagine. We care about creating exhibits and programs that emphasize hands-on engagement and learning through experience, employing play as a tool to spark the inherent creativity, curiosity, and imagination of children.
​
Our monthly board meetings are held on the third Monday of each month. Please contact sabra@yumachildrensmuseum.com if you would like to attend a meeting.
