60th Anniversary !
We’re celebrating 60 incredible years of bringing our community together at The Dakota Center! 🎂✨

Before-School Program
Coming 202 -2026 School Year!
Our Before School program supports the efforts in our community toward Workforce Development.
Parents work schedules and bus pick-up and drop-off times for their child often conflict.
The Dakota Center recognizes how much stress that can cause.
The Before School sessions allow parents some flexibility and opportunities that may not be available if they must make sure their child is on the bus.
The Program will be here to see your child off to school with a positive attitude towards learning.
