Today's inner child is our Executive Director, Jen Madigan.

One of our goals for the Discovery Center is for it to be a place where FAMILIES can Discover, Share, Play, and Create. A place that provides opportunities for and encourages critical thinking, problem solving, social/emotional development and more!

Fred Rogers once said "It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives."

Play knows no age limits. We see that every day. I saw it as a child and I see it now. Adults love to play as well. Often times adults get caught up in the serious adulting things and forget to play.

Fred Rogers also said "Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."

Kids AND adults NEED play. Please consider supporting the Kinzua Area Discovery Center during Warren Gives. You won't see a line for the KADC, but you can choose the Jefferson DeFrees Family Center and in the honor/memory line notate "KADC." All funds designated as such will come to the KADC.

Play is serious business, regardless of age. The same is true for fishing!

Today's inner child is Melinda Johnson, Executive Director Jefferson DeFrees Family Center. Here is what Melinda has to say...

"I have always felt a deep connection to animals and the outdoors through my upbringing as a farm girl. Nature has a way of making me feel centered and at peace. I love the nature themed aspect of the Kinzua Area Discovery Center. Bringing the “outdoors in” speaks to me."

Which part of our outside do you hope we will bring inside?

Welcome to Saturday!

Today's inner child is Vicki Anthony. In addition to our financials, Vicki helps with many of the little things that need to happen behind the scenes.

"It has always been my greatest joy to work with children. Watching them learn & grow into little people with imaginations, stories, and so much knowledge. And, oh, the attitudes. 😂

I believe the KADC will help the children of our community and beyond develop with all that will be offered. There will be many opportunities for learning & growth. I also look forward to each visit. Excited to learn & discover all the things I didn't have in my childhood, like technology.

I anxiously await the Kinzua Area Discovery Center! Just thinking of seeing smiles, hearing laughter, and children learning will be so rewarding to all that come to visit this awesome museum experience."

What are you most looking forward to/hoping to see?
