The parent support group meets one time a month. Often a guest speaker or an expert in the field come in to offer much needed information and advice. This is also a great time for parents to get together and share ideas and thoughts. The families really appreciate having somewhere to come where they know others are going through the same thing. This service is offered at no cost to the families.
Parent Support Group meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month. The meeting starts at 7pm and runs until 8:30 pm.

Fun Night
Fun Night is an one time a month event for the children in our special needs classes and their siblings. This night is designed to give parents a much needed break while giving the children a place to come and have a good time. It is so vitally important that parents have some alone time when they are raising children with special needs. Many of our parents use this night as a “date night.” It is often difficult for families to find babysitters that they trust with their children. We provide a safe and fun environment for their children. This service is offered at no cost to the families.
Fridays: Monthly (dates tba)
