Congratulations to our August Employee of the Month, April!
April is our Manager of Operations, and is a warm presence who helps with museum operations, including running our gift shop, organizing field trips, and much more! We are so thankful for her passion and dedication.
🎶 Favorite exhibit: Melody in Motion
😁 Favorite part about working at DCM: Seeing kids' faces light up with excitement as they explore & play, and I not so secretly enjoy stocking the gift shop with toys they will love! ❤️
🧀 Favorite food: Cheese 🙂
✈️ If you could have any superpower, what would it be: Flight! I could travel anywhere, see everything from above, and never miss a sunset!
🌅 What do you like to do outside of work?: I enjoy adventures with my dog, Henny, exploring nature, crafting, watching sunsets, and enjoying Rockford's awesome restaurants!
Great work, April! … See MoreSee Less

What a night! ✨
Our members waved goodbye to summer at our Members' Night this past Friday! We had an evening full of creativity, treats, and stargazing. Families enjoyed bubble play and popsicles in the Park, got hands-on in the Makerspace with balloon decorating and animal bracelets, and wrapped up the evening under the stars with the One Sky planetarium show.
Thank you to all our members who joined us – we love celebrating with you!
