Jocelyn Goldblatt

​Executive Director
I’m beyond excited and honored to step into the role of Executive Director at the Cheshire Children’s Museum! As a mother of three teens, I remember the value of spaces that encourage growth, learning, and creativity; spaces like this one that so many of us cherish!

I have experience as Executive Director & Development Director for other non-profits serving local families. I hold a MA in Community Development Policy and Practice from UNH. I’m enrolled in Antioch University’s PhD in Leadership & Change program and am passionate about building a strong, supportive network for families that includes creativity & play.

Together, we can make this museum a hub for connection,
learning, sharing, and most importantly, PLAY!

Please reach out and share your ideas for building and continuing to nurture this vibrant space for this and future generations!
