Little learners, big possibilities! Arizona Science Center's Science on Wheels is visiting Copper Creek! They bring hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (S.T.E.M.) experiences that are aligned with Developmentally Appropriate Practice, National Association for the Education of Young Children recommendations for high quality programs, Arizona Early Learning Standards, and Teaching Strategies GOLD. Our child-centered programs provide opportunities for children to deepen their learning connections, practice higher order thinking skills, and build their knowledge about the world around them. The program can also support school-ready skills such as problem-solving, communication, persistence, and confidence.

Squishing, rolling, sculpting, molding . . . young children love to play with play dough!Our Play Dough Experiences are designed for children ages 2- 5 years of age.
