Our North Partner site is unique. It is a partnership with Family Gateway, another non-profit that operates the family shelter for homeless families in North Dallas. We partner to provide the early childhood program on the first floor of the shelter which includes an infant room, a toddler room, a preschool room, and a school-age program.
