Kansas Children’s Discovery Center Receives Collegiate Cares COVID-19 Grant

Topeka Collegiate has selected the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center as a recipient of the Collegiate Cares COVID-19 Grant.

“We’re pleased to support the online education being developed by the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center,” said Dr. Lyn Rantz, Head of School. “They are providing an excellent resource to families at home right now.”

The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center has shared daily, free educational activities online every day since closure. Online videos teach children how to do activities using materials found in the average home to encourage families to learn and play together, while exploring science, art, nature and more.

“The Discovery Center is a privately-funded nonprofit organization that relies on admissions revenue to operate.
With the doors being closed, this is the least we can do to help,” said Dr. Lyn Rantz, Head of School. “We are so proud and grateful that the Discovery Center is part of the Topeka community.”
