THE DEN
Welcome to The Den, Manhattan Park District’s before and after school program! The Den is a positive and exciting environment for your children to spend time with friends, work on homework, learn new games and activities, make art and science projects, and play!
The Den’s curriculum is rooted in engaging and encouraging growth through positive social interaction, physical movement and activity, and learning through play. The Den is open to all K-5th grade students in District 114 and begins at 7:00 am and ends at 6:00 pm.
The program takes place at the Hansen Community Center- The Market. Students from Wilson Creek and Anna McDonald will be bused to and from The Den through Lincoln-Way's transportation system.
