Lynn Potyen began her business in 2006 because her eldest son had a severe speech delay and a neurological writing disorder. Her story is archived in the Library of Congress after being nominated by the Toy Association for her innovative way of thinking. Her most recent adventure was a chapter in the book 'What Board Games Mean to Me', where she was 1 of 28 authors worldwide asked to share their expertise.
Leah is our Director of Education & Community here at Above & Beyond Children's Museum. She grew up locally, in Wisconsin, and has spent the last four years working in education around different Sheboygan Area nonprofit organizations. Leah spends a majority of her time at the museum developing and planning programs that cover a wide range of topics to engage and educate Sheboygan youths. She enjoys researching materials for any and all things Early Childhood Education and implements that knowledge in all areas of our space. In her free time, she loves to explore new cities, get creative, and spend time with family and friends.
