The Putnam Children’s Discovery Center offers families
adventure, discovery and learning all at an affordable price.
They offer programs in science, drama and art for babies to
teens. In addition to programming at the Center, PCDC goes
into local schools offering a Hands On Science program where
children are exposed to a variety of science opportunities
including rocketry. PCDC annually hosts The Tri County Science
& Technology Fair and The Discovery Center Players, their
all child acting troupe, performs two to three times a year.
Their acting program exposes children ages 4 to 14 to theater
in a noncompetitive and fun atmosphere. Their drama workshops
spark creativity, providing an opportunity for individual
expression, and instilling self-confidence and self-discipline.
Explorations in Science, offered after school, helps kids
to learn through “doing.” Kids can explore other
cultures through art, enjoy Kids Krafts or learn cartooning
in PCDC’s art program. Preschool programs are also available
such as Mommy & Me, Toddling Two’s and Stories Alive.
Field trips for preschool and kindergarten age children feature
an organized science activity plus activities like gravity
wall, rocks dig, fun with magnets and more! PCDC also hosts
Family Science Nights and offers all-inclusive birthday party
packages. Putnam Children’s Discovery Center is an interactive
children’s museum that encourages families to “please
touch.”
