Join us for another exciting year of before and after school enrichment! With the new changes in the grade levels at each school, some of our programs have changed. We will continue to operate a before and after school program in Patrick McGaheran School. At Round Valley School, we will be adding a before school program and continue to operate our after school program. Clinton Township Middle School students are able to attend the after school program at Round Valley. At this time, we are still waiting to determine if any programming will be needed at Spruce Run School. WFC Before School Programs will begin at 7:00 am and run until school starts. At their home away from home, students are welcome to bring their breakfast, finish homework and engage in other fun activities while preparing to start their school day. WFC After School Programs will begin at dismissal and run as late as 6:30pm. On a daily basis we offer healthy snacks, homework club, FUN enrichment activities built around the students' interests, various clubs (Cooking Club, Sports Club, Arts & Crafts Club, to name a few), outside play and much more! With flexible scheduling of 1-5 days per week and various pick up times (4:00 pm, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm or 6:30 pm), you only pay for the amount of care that you need!

Now, for the first time ever, The Urchins are coming to the United States – to Clinton, New Jersey. The mysterious and beautiful work represents the crowning touch of the nonprofit Hunterdon Art Museum's, ground-breaking exhibition Lace not Lace: Contemporary Fiber Art from Lacemaking Techniques. This will be the first time they will be displayed in the United States. Created by architects Jin Choi and Thomas Shine, The Urchins are two lace orbs, each fifteen feet in diameter. Hanging above the Museum's Toshiko Takaezu Terrace that overlooks the Raritan River, these two orbs will be suspended from thin, almost invisible cables spanning trusses that are 20 feet high. More than 50 people dedicated three months to meticulously craft by hand the lace shells that are held in tension over an aluminum frame. Gently guided by the wind, The Urchins will interact with natural light to create ephemeral shadows during the day and glow when illuminated at night. Visitors will be able to interact with the hovering handmade objects and, when they do, become immersed in a delicate layer of lace. The Museum's terrace is open free to the public 24/7 and is a gathering spot for the community. Situated on the grounds of the Museum is a center for contemporary art, craft, and design, which houses a nineteenth century mill on the National Historic Register. The Urchins are a beautiful public sculpture that will be the first sight one sees as they visit the Museum and the last view they have as they leave the grounds. The property is integrated into the downtown of a rural community and will be visible and accessible to all who visit the area. Overlooking a river and the Clinton falls, The Urchins will bring an unforgettable experience to a site that is exceptional for its historic and natural beauty. Please help us create memories that will last forever by contributing to our Kickstarter campaign today. Be a hero – help bring The Urchins to the Terrace!

About Lace not Lace: Contemporary Fiber Art from Lacemaking Techniques: This ground-breaking exhibition features the work of 28 artists from around the world, demonstrating how lace makers are pushing the boundaries of an art form that has existed for centuries to create fresh and exciting work exploring contemporary themes, materials and forms. In addition to Choi + Shine's The Urchins, the exhibition also includes Lieve Jerger's Carriage of Lost Loves. Jerger has spent 40 years adapting ancient Flemish lace-making techniques and using copper wire to create a life-sized carriage.
