Youth Center & After School Program Our annual winter holiday costume party will be held after school on December 12th from  12:30 until 5:00. While costumes with a winter holiday theme are not required to attend, each year we have had some wonderfully creative outfits and prizes will be awarded in several  categories. The party will also include special games, activities, and loads of treats. This is a time for everyone who has attended our after school programming to get together and have a good time before the Community holiday celebration. Children's Center The Children's Center provides Early Care and Education for children ages 18 months until kindergarten.  Our "graduates" always receive rave reviews from the local Kindergarten teachers because they are so prepared for public school.  Our pre-K classroom is headed by Pam Reed.  Pam has over 25 years in the Early Care and Education field and does a wonderful job instilling a love of learning, along with teaching some of the social skills that are needed to successfully transition to "The Big School".  If you would like to learn more about our programs, please call to arrange a visit (244-9824).  Come see what The Children's Center has to offer your family Harbor House Happenings December 2014 COMMUNITY HOLIDAY CELEBRATION  Friday December 12th & 13th Friday December 12th 3:00-7:00 pm Craft Fair.
