OUR SERVICES

Provide service for Children: Ages 5-10 years old

Creative Arts

Enhances expression, creativity, communication, fine-motor development, sensory engagement, attention, social interaction, and self-confidence. It provides special education students with hands-on, individualized opportunities to learn new skills while expressing themselves in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Social Emotional Learning

Provides students with essential skills for understanding and managing emotions, communicating needs, building positive relationships, solving problems, and making appropriate choices. Through structured activities, modeling, role-playing, social stories, and group interactions, students are given opportunities to practice these skills in a safe and supportive environment. SEL promotes confidence, independence, self-advocacy, positive behavior, and successful participation at school, at home, and in the community. Modifications

Homework Assistance & Enrichment

Our after-school program provides limited homework assistance to help students complete essential assignments while maintaining a healthy balance between academics, social development, and enrichment. Students will have designated time to work on homework with staff support; however, the program is designed to provide more opportunities for interactive, hands-on activities that promote creativity, communication, social skills, physical activity, independence, and problem-solving.

Recreational Activities

Provide students with meaningful opportunities to develop physical, social, emotional, communication, and independence skills through enjoyable and purposeful experiences. Activities are designed to encourage participation, cooperation, healthy movement, creativity, confidence, and positive peer interactions while allowing students to have fun and build skills at their own pace.

Social Skills Development

Provides students with structured opportunities to learn and practice effective communication, cooperation, friendship-building, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and appropriate social interactions. Through role-playing, group activities, games, modeling, and real-life practice, students learn how to communicate their needs, respect others, take turns, follow social expectations, resolve conflicts, and build meaningful relationships. These skills help students become more confident, independent, and successful in school, at home, and within their communities.

Life Skills

Provides students with special needs opportunities to learn and practice practical skills that support independence and successful participation in everyday life. Through hands-on activities, modeling, repetition, and individualized support, students can develop self-care, communication, organization, decision-making, problem-solving, safety, social, and community skills. The goal is to help each student build confidence, increase independence, and develop skills that can be used at home, at school, and in the community.
