Cayton Children’s Museum Programs are part of a nonprofit organization that states its mission as activating the power of play to enrich the lives of children and their families, build stronger, more connected communities, and create a better world. The organization states that it strives to nurture children of all backgrounds and abilities to become engaged citizens of the world by facilitating collaborative, experiential learning and creative expression in the museum space and through community programs.
The Cayton Children’s Museum opened to the public in 2019 and comes with 30 years of experience in values-based learning, previously operating as the Zimmer Children’s Museum. Community programs bring the Cayton experience into neighborhoods and schools to reach children with limited access to the museum, in partnership with nonprofit and community-based organizations in parts of Los Angeles County where opportunities for creative, safe, purposeful, and free play are needed most. The museum states that it aspires to foster community connections that extend play beyond the museum, strengthening relationships among families and linking shared experiences to broader civic and cultural life.
The organization lists a leadership and advisory team that includes Thomas Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer; Cyndi Sorrell, Senior Business Manager; Carl Freed, Chairperson; Jasmine Arai, Secretary; Brianne Turtletaub, Treasurer; multiple members of the Board of Directors; members of the Women’s Philanthropy Circle; and members of the Board of Advisors.
