“Toddlers are incredible explorers. They’re constantly testing, moving, repeating, experimenting, and figuring out what they can do,” Cassie Coffey, Director of Playful Experiences at DuPage Children’s Museum, said in a statement.

Coffey added, “Toddler Takeover gives them the time and space to follow that curiosity at their own pace, while giving caregivers a chance to see just how much learning can happen through play.”
