Ocotillo Road where Mayor Julia Wheatley and Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce staff attended. The center offers free parent and children learning activities and support for families with young children—funded by a $750,000 grant from First Things First with payments of $150,000 this year and $300,000 in 2026 and 2027.
