Evening Life Skills

Our Life Skills program was designed with our clients in mind.  If you are looking for an after school program where your child will gain independence while having fun and working cooperatively with their peers, this program is for you!

Participants will learn essential skills such as planning for and making a variety of snacks, including creating a shopping list, measuring ingredients, food preparation and cleaning up. Other areas targeted will include household chores, as well as personal safety, in the home and in the community. Learning these essential life skills will help increase your child’s confidence and independence.
