Curriculum: Along with the children’s individual habilitation goals there are special activities planned daily for the children's participation. 

  • Creative art
  • Gross/Fine motor
  • Music and movement
  • Language and literature

Weekly Program: Our weekly program is focused on working on children’s individual habilitation goals. Children are matched with a provider who best meets his/her needs. Providers work with the family to help children master their habilitation goals, as well as any informal goals the family has for their child.  Children work one-on-one with providers and participate in individual group activities. 

Saturday Program: The Saturday program is an extension of our weekly program.  The program runs three Saturdays each month from 10:00am until 3:00pm. Children are encouraged to bring lunch money so they can develop community self help skills. By going to a restaurant, they can learn how to choose, order their own food and act appropriately in a public setting. Some children can count their money and pay for his/her own food as well. 
Saturday Program includes:

  • Community outings
  • Group activities (small & large)
  • Utilizes both respite and habilitation hours

Parents Date Night: When the children stay late the parents can play! Well, the children play too. Once a quarter we stay open late, from 6:00pm to 8:30pm, and have a special night at the center where we play games and participate in special activities. 

Seasonal Celebrations:  Every summer we have a special theme where we learn about and explore a new topic. At the end of the summer the children participate in a  program to share what they have learned with their family and friends.

Throughout the year special activities are planned to celebrate seasons and holidays.

Guthrie Groovers: A high energy dance class designed specifically for children with physical and learning disabilities. Children learn a new type of dance every month and are taught by certified Guthrie Divas with dance experience.  Class are held three Saturdays a month from 9:00am to 10:00am.
