Our Story

Vision
Story

Play Sharity was first established in Deming, NM, when a group of five mothers came together with the same hopes and dreams: To create a safe place for children to come together that was clean, safe, interactive, and full of fun. What they created was a community of parents, children, and caregivers embarking on projects to promote family and child wellbeing. â€‹

​

In 2022, when a group in Gallup came together with a similar vision for their community, Play Sharity offered to partner with and support a Gallup location.

​

Since then, Play Sharity Gallup Children's Museum has been hosting pop-up children's museums at community events and making plans for a permanent museum location.
