Bio
My name is Sierah Haines. I am 22 years old and originally from Houston, TX. I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor Degree in 2D Studio Art. I have been the Assistant Manager since August 2024, and my favorite thing is combining experimental learning with art and play. Outside of work my hobbies include: poetry, art (of course!), and discovering Denton’s awesome music venues! I guide a lot of our programs here, so feel free to ask me any questions!

Playing and teaching are two of my favorite things, and being Lead Play expert means I get to do that all day! Feel free to approach me or other staff members with questions or comments. We hope you have a delightful time!!
