CEO CORNER

A new year brings fresh energy, exciting possibilities, and new discoveries—and there is so much to look forward to at Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples. As we step into the year ahead, we are thrilled to share what’s new, what’s growing, and what’s coming next for our museum community.

Our team remains deeply committed to enhancing the member experience. This year, members can look forward to even more opportunities to learn, play, and create together. From hands-on Mega Wonders classes that spark curiosity to engaging Art Workshops that inspire creativity, we are expanding ways for families to actively participate and connect through meaningful experiences.

We are also excited to share that construction will begin soon on our Early Learning Center. This important addition represents a major step forward in supporting our youngest learners and their families, creating an environment designed to nurture early development through exploration, play, and discovery. We look forward to sharing updates as this exciting project takes shape.

None of this would be possible without you. Your membership fuels innovation, growth, and the joyful moments that happen every day inside the museum. Thank you for being part of our community and for starting the new year with us. We can’t wait to discover what’s next—together.

With gratitude and excitement,
