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.

"Gonk's Pirate Treasure" It's all hands on deck when Gonk sets out to find some hidden pirate treasure. All he needs now are more pirate helpers, but his sister, Beaker, tells Gonk to walk the plank - pirates are too messy! ARGH! But a true pirate never gives up, so Gonk ropes in his slobbery swashbuckling sidekick, Nova, who leads them all over the map. At last, they've finally sniffed out the pirate loot - or have they? Come join DVFRC for a book reading, activities, and crafts with author Debi Novotny!

Come join DVFRC and celebrate Fall! We have lots of activities planned including sensory fun, art, and a sweet treat!
