Habitot Children’s Museum Looking to Relocate to Brentwood

OCTOBER 18, 2007 (Brentwood, CA) – The Find a Way Foundation of Brentwood and Habitot Children’s Museum of Berkeley today announced plans to explore relocating Habitot Children’s Museum to East Contra Costa county. An open meeting has been scheduled for Thursday evening, November 15 at 6:30 pm at the Delta First 5 Center at 760 1st Street in Brentwood to assess community interest in the idea. Childcare will be provided.

Recently, Steffany Lohn, president of the Foundation, and Gina Moreland, founder and executive director of Habitot met with the Vice Mayor of Brentwood, Bob Brockman, about the possibilities.

“The area has experienced tremendous growth since 1995 – 20% of our population is now children under 10 years old. A children’s museum would be a great asset for our community.”

Lohn and Moreland both share a passion for enhancing the lives of children and their families and to strengthen the community as a whole. Lohn and her husband, Paul Levin, have a three year old son with autism and have a strong interest in serving children with special needs in a discovery-based museum setting. Moreland founded Habitot Children’s Museum in 1998 when her children were small. The museum today welcomes over 80,000 visitors to its Berkeley facility a year and has outgrown its current space. The museum has been looking for a new home since 2005.
