PLAYologist
PLAYologists are the front line staff at The Iowa Children’s Museum and provide the primary staff interaction with families and museum exhibits and programs.
Guest Welcome Center Specialist
At the Guest Welcome Center in Coral Ridge Mall, our GWC Specialists engage with and assist mall visitors, promote local and museum events, and share information about the museum, mall, and Coralville.
At The Iowa Children’s Museum we love to play! Our PLAYologists all participate in a self-reflection exercise and think about how they play while on the floor of the museum. Are they silly, curious, boisterous, creative, focused…? Once they have thought about their play style, our PLAYologists create their Play Alter Ego. This is a character (with costumes, accessories and an awesome name) that represents how they play. The staff will wear a button of their Play Alter Ego to spark questions and playful interactions while on the floor. Ask us about them next time you come play!
