in touch with us, there is always something new in the works!
The
Special Times Children’s Program has been going strong for 12 years. Our goals
are for children to develop self-confidence, to enjoy themselves, and to acquire
skills to participate safely and happily in typical activities enjoyed by all
children.These goals are achieved through recreation, a major life skill that is
essential
to the development of all children.
The participants develop their interpersonal skills, discover their creative
interests, and improve their physical abilities.
Initially, they will engage in a broad range of fun activities that
reinforce appropriate social behaviors, teach them the rules of the game and
develop positive
interaction
with other children.
The long-term benefits are that the children enjoy friendships, and a sense of
belonging, develop awareness of their own abilities, and feel competent and
successful.
One young boy, who has Autism, said when he received a trophy, “I feel like a
king!”
