The program will begin September 28th and run every Wednesday from 6:30-8:00 pm until December 21st. We will meet in the Young Teens room at Northgate's north campus. The program is for children who are ages 5-12 years old and combines games, crafts, activities, story, music and DVD dramas to provide support to children. This is not a counseling service.
