CAMARILLO, California, August 22, 2024 - kidSTREAM, Ventura County's emerging children’s museum, is excited to announce its participation in the 'Our World: Worldwide Day of Play.' On Saturday, September 28th, from 10 AM to 2 PM, the community is invited to join us in our outdoor exhibit space at kidSTREAM for this global event. Presented by Nickelodeon in partnership with the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), the day encourages children and families to step outside, engage, and experience the joy and learning that come through play.
“Play is a powerful experience that enriches people’s lives in museums, schools, homes, and beyond,” said Arthur G. Affleck, III, executive director of the Association of Children’s Museums. “ACM is pleased to partner with Nickelodeon on amplifying the importance of play on wellbeing and healthy brain development, and to make learning more effective and joyful for everyone. As children’s museums, we believe in the power of play and we strive to nurture more play and playful learning everywhere we go.”
“As an emerging children’s museum in Ventura County, kidSTREAM is committed to bringing our community world-class opportunities to grow and play together,” said Dani Hildreth, director of guest experience at kidSTREAM. “This event will celebrate the importance of play in every child’s life and development and will also be a glimpse into the planned exhibits and programs as we near construction on this destination worthy, hands-on resource for Ventura County children.”
"The entire kidSTREAM team is honored to work with Nickelodeon and the Association of Children's Museums to bring the importance of play front and center in our community,” said Michael Shanklin, executive director at kidSTREAM. The Worldwide Day of Play is part of Nickelodeon’s Our World global initiative, which aims to inspire children and equip them with the tools to activate their individual and collective agency. kidSTREAM’s participation underscores its role as a vital collaborator in this international effort, alongside over 300 children’s museums globally, including more than 300 ACM member museums in North America.
