Zing Zumm, Children's Museum of Jacksonville

Zing Zumm, Children's Museum of Jacksonville Engaging children through hands-on learning since 2018! Play, imagine, create, learn, and explore 🎉 Guiding principles:

1. We believe messy play is fun

4.
(2)

Our mission at Zing Zumm is to engage all children through hands-on learning experiences that promote play, inspire imagination, foster creativity, and spark exploration in a fun, family friendly environment. We believe all children have a right to play in their own way in a place that is accessible, safe, and welcoming.

2. We believe that children are naturally curious and that access to educat

ional play is essential to developing discovery skills outside of, or before, the classroom.

3. We believe people of all ages enjoy play and that children learn best from their first teachers: their parents/caregivers, and therefore encourage guests of any age to engage in play.

5. Our staff, board, and volunteers are representative of the diversity of our community and we choose to promote kindness and inclusion in all things we do.
