The Felix Adler Children's Discovery Center is "Clinton, Iowa's Children's Museum!"
We 🙂 Learn Through Play -- Every Day in Every Way!🙂
A children's museum is a place where children and their grown-ups get to:
🔴 explore hands-on exhibits and stations
⚪ enjoy weekly programs and special events
🔵 take school field trips
🔴 throw a birthday party for someone special
⚪ nurture the child, support the family, and build community
🔵 discover the many wonders of the world around us.
And all the while, we are playing!!
Play is a powerful teacher...
When children play, they practice skills that strengthen their school learning and lay the groundwork to become well-adjusted adults.
Play:
-- builds empathy & kindness
-- expands language & social interaction
-- develops cognitive problem-solving tools
-- exercises both fine & gross motor movements
-- encourages rich interactions between children and their grown-ups
🎪 At the Discovery Center, children play to learn and grown-ups learn to play again!🎪
Established 28 years ago, the Discovery Center has grown to become a jewel in Downtown Clinton. Partnering with many schools and area organizations, the Discovery Center is a destination for families in Eastern Iowa, Western Illinois and beyond!
