This not only helps combat childhood obesity but also ensures the kids have fun while staying active, encouraging them to incorporate movement into their daily lives.

Tuesday
Tuesdays are dedicated to the arts, including drawing, painting, and music. We even have a DJ to help kids create their own beats, fostering self-expression and creativity. These sessions provide unique experiences and new ways for the children to express themselves, making each day exciting and fulfilling.

Wednesday
Wednesdays are reserved for group therapy, addressing any trauma our kids may have experienced as well as focusing on social emotional learning. Although group therapy can be challenging, it focuses on developing coping skills and techniques to more effectively handle big emotions .

Thursday
Thursdays are Bible days, where the First Pres Children’s Ministry leads Bible lessons and games. This element of the program is crucial for fostering a sense of resilience, as belief in something greater than oneself is a significant factor in building emotional strength. We aim to nurture well-rounded children, equipping them with the tools and stories that enhance their resilience and faith.
