Kare Place for kids
Welcome to our Year-Round Program
Inclusive after-school and weekend programs for kids with special needs. Fun, learning, and friendship — Enroll today! October 7, 2025 – June, 2026
Who
Students in grades 1 through 10
Our programs are designed for children with special needs in grades 1 through 10. To make sure every child gets the care and attention they deserve, we keep our sessions small — just 12–14 students per group, supported by 3–4 dedicated staff members.
Before joining, parents and guardians complete a short application to help us ensure the program is the right fit for their child. This way, we can provide the safest and most supportive environment for everyone.
Snacks & Lunch:
We provide healthy snacks during all sessions. On Saturdays, we kindly ask families to send a packed lunch (warming facilities are available).
Accessibility & Support:
We believe every child should have the chance to benefit from our programs. Thanks to ongoing fundraising, we’re able to offer a limited number of scholarships each year to families who may face financial barriers.
