On May 15, 2012, the Family Resource Center (FRC) officially
re-opened to the public with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by
representatives from the Museum and Edward
Hospital. Through a generous donation from Edward, DCM
renovated this popular area, which provides a quieter space tucked away from
the activity and busyness of the Museum. The FRC is an extension of our exhibit philosophy and is a comfortable
place to extend early learning.
The Newly Renovated FRC |
Materials provided in the FRC enhance early learning with a
focus on literacy. Books and reference
materials are provided for children and adults alike. Parents are encouraged to read side by side
with children in our oversized, overstuffed chairs. Tables, chairs and shelving are at just the
right height to allow children to pull materials and interact in a way that
illustrates this as a place designed just for them!

Story time takes place every Friday morning at 10:00. Ben Weber, DCM’s highly engaging and interactive
story teller, reads aloud accompanied by Andrew
Moran playing the accordion. In
addition, the Naperville Public Library joins us in the FRC on the first
Wednesday morning of each month at 10:00.
Come visit, enjoy the renovated FRC and look for continuing
updates with a literacy focus!
