Children Center & Teen Center
Mary’s Place offers a variety of youth activities and programs for the children. Our staff works hard to create a fun, healthy, positive, and safe environment where the children can relax, make friends, and play. We have a Children Center for the younger children, a Teen Center for the teenagers, do Movie Nights, and take the children on Field Trips throughout the community. Our centers are open 5 days of the week, run by staff, and fully equipped with the best, high quality equipment and toys.
Children Center
The Children Center is run by the Immaculate Heart Of Mary Mother Of Christ nuns and is open in the afternoons. The center is fully equipped with learning toys, pretend play toys, sensory toys, books, arts and crafts, bikes, ride-on cars, climbing structures, and a kitchenette area where daily snack is served. The center also has a fenced-in outdoor play area that is used in the spring, summer, and fall months. Children explore, play together, and learn important skills like sharing, cooperation, and listening.
Teen Center
The Teen Center is open in the afternoons and evenings and is for junior high and high school age teenagers. The center is fully equipped with 6 large flat screen tvs, Playstation 5, Xbox X, and Nintendo Switch video game systems, pool tables, air hockey tables, and a weightlifting facility. The center also has an outdoor half basketball court that is used in the spring, summer, and fall months. The teenagers enjoy having a fun place to go after school where they can meet friends and come together to hang out.
