Respite programs
A safe, fun environment for participants with special needs and their siblings — and a break for parents, each month. There is no age limit. One respite runs Friday evening at alternating locations; a sensory respite is hosted at the same location each month for continuity and familiarity, offered Saturday or Sunday afternoon by invitation according to participant needs.
Register once — a team member will reach out by email and offer a respite time if we can accommodate your family.
The inclusive playground
An all-inclusive playground on the grounds of First Baptist Church of Albertville, designed to accommodate children of various abilities — and available to book for private birthday parties.
