Happy Families Come to Play, Learn, and Explore at The Discovery Center!
Offering a safe, engaging and happy atmosphere, The Discovery Center fosters play, sparks creative thinking, and builds self-esteem. Children explore, grow, and have fun in our Summer Camps, Preschool, Universal Pre-Kindergarden (UPK), Afterschool, and Extended Play Programs!
The Discovery Center hosted its first ever virtual Read-A-Thon on World Listening Day, Saturday, July 18. It was a tremendous success, raising over $22,000 to support the immediate needs of the Museum.
As you may know, The Discovery Center has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 with the closure of the Museum and reductions in revenue from our childcare programs. Many of our longstanding summer fundraisers also could not run – so we had to get a bit creative this year.
We had no idea if a virtual Read-a-thon would work and set a modest goal, crossing our fingers that we would find readers who would be willing to fundraise to make the event possible. 35 amazing fundraising readers stepped forward with almost 500 donors lending their support. We could not be more grateful!
