Alexa Plewa - Executive Director

Hello! I am the Executive Director of the Cheshire Children's Museum. I am a New Hampshire native, growing up in Jaffrey and moving to Keene in 2007. For the past 16 years, I've worked with children and families as an educator, childcare provider, program director, and my most important role, as a mother. When I am not on the museum floor visiting  with guests or playing in the boat, you can find me out in nature. I enjoy spending sunny days at the ocean, and rainy days creating art with my family.  Come stop by and say hello!

 Sara Ladzinski -
​Program Director

Hello! I am the program director at the Cheshire Children’s Museum. I love seeing the joy and excitement in children and families’ faces when they play and engage in the various activities happening here at the museum. Having been a teacher for more than 10 years, planning story and craft times on Thursdays is one of my favorite things to do at the museum. If I’m not here planning and making fun activities happen, I love to be outside hiking, biking or paddling in the great NH outdoors.

Hello! I’m a senior at KSC. I recently transferred from the University of Maine to continue studying Elementary Education and Psychology closer to home. In my free time, I like to listen to music, read or spend time outside.

Abbie Jordan

Hello! I’m a junior at KSC, double majoring in Elementary Education and psychology. It is my hope that one day I will be either a mental health counselor or a teacher in an elementary school. I’m currently serving as an executive member in “Delta Xi Phi”  a KSC sorority focused on multicultural awareness.
 
My favorite thing to do is hang out with my friends and family. I’m always down to go on a hike or bike ride! I love Keene and can’t wait to see what is next for me!

​Hello everyone! I am a senior at Keene State College. I am majoring in both English Literature and English Writing. When I am not working at the college's library as a writing tutor and helping other students with their research/writing, you can either find me at the local bookstores or reading on rainy days with my cats. I am very excited to be interning for the Cheshire Children's Museum for these next few months!
