The Nurturing Program Nurturing is the ability to care for and foster growth in yourself and others.  The Nurturing Program is a family based educational program that promotes nurturing within in the family.  Anyone who wants to build better relationships and communication in their family can benefit from the program.   

The Nurturing Program is unique in that both parents and their children are involved in the learning process.  Children are in a class for their age group, learning the same subject that the parents are learning in their class.  Families than implement what they have learned throughout the week and discuss changes at the next class.  Subjects include growth and development, communication and cooperation, effective guidance, empowering children to make healthy decisions, nutrition and much more. Wells Co. has been fortunate to obtain financial support from a grant through PCAND (Prevent Child Abuse in North Dakota) to make the program available to our community again in September.  Classes are on Monday evenings, from 6:00-8:30 pm., for 12 weeks. Childcare and a light supper are provided.
