Parents of children with disabilities often say that one of their biggest sources of stress is that they don't have enough quality time for themselves. Parents' Night Out is a perfect way to eliminate some of this stress. It is a creative approach to the traditional drop-off respite program. On Friday nights, parents can drop off their children both with and without disabilities. While there, children will interact socially while participating in coordinated activities.
What Activities are offered?
Your child can enjoy activities such as crafts, movies, bowling, theme nights and various seasonal activities. Our trained staff provides your child with the support they need and encourages new friendship among participants.
