ROFAYKI: Recreational Opportunities For All Young Kids Initiative, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Our pilot site, the Morgantown Fun Factory has been in operation for eight years and has outgrown its current location.  As our community has grown and changed, our mission has expnded.  

Our new initiative, to develop the Children’s Discovery Museum of West Virginia is  designed to improve the effectiveness of our community outreach and to intensify the level of our programming to address the educational needs of children in our region.  The Children’s Discovery Museum will provide educational and play experiences that promote children’s natural curiosity and wonder in critical learning areas such as science, history, math and the arts. We support parents and caregivers in their desire to actively participate in their children’s learning and offer opportunities for outreach to children and families.
