Child care, and even more, finding enriching experiences for our students can be difficult. Whether you're looking for full-time care or just some fun things to do with your kids this summer, the links below will be very useful. Link provide information on after school and summer care, as well as organizations that provide recreational and social opportunities. The resources range from providing a daily adventure to weekly or monthly care. This list of community resources is not intended to be an endorsement of any of the programs but rather an informational tool when planning activities for children with special needs. Some program enrollments fill up early, so don't wait until May (eeek!) to register your student for a program that interests you. I hope you find this helpful.
