The Great Plains Children's Museum strives to create a 25,000+ sq ft facility on 10-20 acres that allows children room to play & learn as well as supporting caregivers in their early childhood (0-12yr) journey.
*Disclaimer, the Fargo-Moorhead Science Museum is an entirely different effort and is not partnered with the Great Plains Children's Museum (greatplainscm.com)

I feel connected to others in our community
I feel supported in my role in caring for children.
I can easily find local resources for parenting.
We need more affordable, play-based learning places for kids aged 0-12 to visit regularly.
I wish there were more opportunities for parents to connect with each other.
Without more places to regularly visit with my children, I have considered moving out of the community.
Without more experiences and places to visit locally, I worry my children will move away when they are older.
