    • Summer Programming 2024

          • Summer break is an amazing time for kids, but as parents/guardians, we can’t help but worry that all this time off from school will cause their skills to fall behind.

For our 2024 summer programming, kids can work on improving gross and fine motor skills, physical fitness, range of motion, language skills, handwriting, and picky eating issues! Now they can increase their therapy skills and have fun while doing it!
