Happy cook program
This is a program for youth (12+) that teaches them basic cooking skills. They learn how to prepare foods such as sandwiches and salads. While having fun, they also get to improve their social and communication skills.
Piano Lessons
We offer 1-on-1 piano lessons with our experienced music teacher with a background in psychology. Classes take place on Saturdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Social Skills Program
Students learn how to interact with people at their own age, and then build confidence and friendship inside and outside the group. This program targets their socio-emotional development.
Tutoring
We offer 1-on-1 tutoring. It is a systematic, but adapted instructional tutoring. We focus on Reading and Language Arts, Writing and Composition, and it is proven to be an extremely effective approach.
Trips, Events and Parties
Playing is an important skill for individuals with special needs. They are entitled to enjoy life with other normal developed individuals. We host events such as zoo trips, Halloween parties, fishing events, and much more!
