programs

 
 

You deserve time to work;
time for yourself; time to build up your community. You want
to give your children time to
build up their community too.

And when you decide the time is right, you can feel safe knowing that the time your children spend with us we are working to make
every day as beautiful
and meaningful as possible.
Just like you do.

Day Program for Young Adults with Developmental Disabilities

In the Fall of 2014, we began a pilot project partnering with the Janus Academy, a school for people affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder. For one day a week for a year we worked on developing nature-based vocational skills, teaching and learning together about vermicomposting, growing seedlings, nature-based art projects, planting, maintaining and harvesting a garden, and starting a green bag program. We are very excited to announce that we are returning to this project once again - offering day programs and classes at our instructional facility in SE Calgary.
