Have you ever missed out on your tarawih prayer because your children did not have something fun, educational, and challenging for them to do while you pray?
This year you don't have to worry about it anymore because for the first 8 raka'at of tarawih, ICGC is bringing IYDE's Children's Enrichment Program (CEP) to you for 6 nights a week, excluding Monday nights, during the blessed month of Ramadan!
CEP is an educational and fun-filled time for children who also deserve to enjoy the benefits of Ramadan by doing activities and lessons lead by qualified instructors and staff. This is
not
babysitting but it
is
a time for children ages 4-11 to learn through a curriculum designed specifically for Ramadan and with a special focus on the sirah in a caring environment while you pray.
Registration has ended, but you can pay nightly if space is still available.
