In the past year, we’ve expanded our reach across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri, welcoming children from 14 counties into our space, traveling as far as Wyandotte County. With your support, we served 8,391 kids in 2022, 11,049 in 2023, and an incredible 12,959 in 2024! Each number represents a child whose imagination was sparked, whose curiosity was encouraged, and whose love for learning was strengthened.

2024 was a year of exciting changes for Curious Minds. We welcomed our new Executive Director, Mrs. Mandi Campmier, and completed incredible new additions—a gazebo, a picnic area, a tricycle path, a library nook, and a dinosaur exhibit. These spaces aren’t just structures; they are places where families connect, where play and learning intertwine, and where memories are made.

Looking ahead to 2025, our focus is “Power the Play.” This initiative will allow us to expand our exhibits, create new experiences, and ensure that play—one of the most powerful tools for learning—remains at the heart of everything we do.
