BEAR-O CARE
Monday, June 5-Friday, August 25 2017
M-F 800am-330pm
For After-ESY care (1230pm-330pm) please contact us

"A "Structured-relaxed" summer program will offer activities that keep these individuals working in areas of PT, OT, speech/communication, and other skills, while having fun. We accept DSPD funds and self-pay (if you have a flex-spending childcare benefit through your employer, be sure to use it!)

Our summer/day programs are designed for kids/adults with medical needs (diapered, G-tube fed, deaf and/or blind, wheelchair dependent, and/or completely dependent on others for their activities of daily living (require assistance feeding, toileting, mobility, etc). Because our population is especially vulnerable, it is difficult to take individuals who are aggressive or are an extreme flight risk. We do not have staff to provide "strong" interventions-please consider this as you are scheduling your child!"
