Afternoon program

Two afternoon sessions are held each week. These sessions assist children in learning social skills, coping with feelings of frustration and anger and provide activities, which encourage creativity, teamwork and friendships. The children participate in such things as cooking, craft, dance, music, sport and outdoor games. A healthy snack is provided during the session. The Centre provides a safe supportive environment for children and their families, free of cost.
