Day Care for Exceptional Children is unique. For children from 6 weeks through 21 years old, physically, mentally, and behaviorally challenged, minimally or totally dependent - we assist, encourage, teach, and care every day. Our mission is to provide day care services to physically and mentally challenged children in order for them to remain in the family or home setting.
We focus on the developmental process each child is going through. Feeding, dressing skills, play group, socializing, cognitive and language skills are all part of our day. With our low child-to-staff ratio, we help our children explore their environment with programs to meet their individual needs.
A Client Service Plan is done initially for each child. This is a plan based on the current abilities of each individual child with goals designed to maximize each person's potential.
We have adaptive equipment such as special chairs and positioning devices for those who need them. Some children need specially blended food prepared daily in our kitchen. We serve breakfast, afternoon snack, and lunch every day.
Many of the children at Day Care need maximum supervision while eating, dressing, and performing other activities of daily living. Our staff are trained to deal with special health problems such as seizures, monitors, tube feeding, and positioning immobile children at regular intervals.
