Learn & Play Tampa Bay’s mission is to elevate Kindergarten Readiness for children all across Tampa Bay! With this Play Initiative, the Glazer Children’s Museum is expanding its reach outside the Museum walls to reach and invite the youngest Imagination Generation children to play with a purpose in their own backyard!
We are looking for a regular volunteer to volunteer for this program on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays from 12:30pm-3:30pm.
The primary function of the Play volunteer for Learn & Play Tampa Bay is to assist our teachers in creating a high-quality Kindergarten Readiness initiative to serve low-income populations throughout the region. The Play Intern should embrace best practices in early childhood education, to improve the key social/emotional, literacy, numeracy and parenting skills for diverse families in Tampa Bay.
Volunteers must be over 18 and bilingual in Spanish.

Description
History: The Children’s Museum of Tampa was founded in 1986 and operated out of a small storefront before moving to its location at Safety Village, next to Lowry Park Zoo, about 20 years ago and renamed itself Kid City. The facility was limited by its size, location, and nature as an outdoor facility. Plans for a new museum began in 2004, construction began in March 2009 and newly named Glazer Children’s Museum opened to the public on September 25, 2010.
Early childhood education is our main focus. The Museum is a family-oriented place where children and adults can learn about themselves and
the world they live in through exploration, interaction, role-play and direct experience.
This is a hands-on museum! Visitors will get the most out of the visit to the Museum through touching, exploring and playing.
The Audience: 200,000 visitors annually, areas for children ages 1 to 10 years old, family resources, focus on learning process, program heavy, Sunshine State Standards for learning, diverse, fostering healthy interactions.

Focus on multi-disciplined early childhood education places the Museum uniquely apart from other informal educational resources in the region. The Museum works with other local and regional family and child service organizations to deliver needed programs and services.
Exhibits have been carefully designed to nurture children’s imaginations, to cultivate their sense of place and to bolster their understanding that they are capable people with good ideas.
