OUR APPROACH
Enrichment That Builds Confidence, Skills, and Community
Our out-of-school programs are designed to support your child’s development while giving families reliable care outside traditional hours. We focus on each child’s strengths and abilities, creating opportunities for:
- Social skill building
- Gross and fine motor development
- Sensory-aware movement and activities
- Friendship, teamwork, and communication
- Creative expression and play
- Emotional regulation through routine and structure
Families benefit from consistent after-school care, dependable school-break coverage, and a summer program that maintains structure—and prevents regression in skills—during long breaks.
WHAT WE OFFER
After-School, Holiday Respite, and Summer Programs
After-School Enrichment (Ages 5–22/30)
A weekday afternoon program that blends structured activities with supportive care. Children and young adults enjoy adaptive sports, arts, games, outdoor play, and relationship-building—all guided by staff trained in special needs support. Ideal for families needing consistent after-school coverage until the workday ends.
Holiday Respite Camps (School Breaks)
A full-day program offered during school holidays, breaks, and teacher workdays. Holiday respite provides enriching activities, peer interaction, and safe supervision when schools are closed. Families gain peace of mind knowing their child is in a familiar environment with staff who understand their needs.
Summer Camp (Inclusive Day Camp)
A high-engagement summer experience with games, crafts, outdoor time, themed activities, and occasional outings. Every activity is inclusive and adaptive, supporting children with a wide range of abilities. Camp maintains routines while giving participants the fun, joyful experience they deserve.
