Full Time Care 

WHALE Respite Center offers full-time care in our infant, toddler, preschool, and UPK classrooms. Our highly trained staff specialize in supporting children as they grow from infancy through PreK. With a play-based curriculum that fosters language, social, and emotional development, children thrive in our nurturing environment. Each classroom is designed to encourage confidence, independence, and academic readiness in a supportive and loving space.

After School Care

Our After School Care program runs Monday–Friday from 3:00–6:00 PM for children ages 5–18. Designed for children with developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, behavioral challenges, and mental health needs, this program focuses on building self-regulation and self-sufficiency skills. Children enjoy engaging activities, center-based learning, and weekly science projects that encourage teamwork and creativity. Staff provide individualized support while creating a fun, structured environment.

School Out Care 

When school is not in session, WHALE offers full-day care for children ages 5–18. This program emphasizes social and emotional skill-building, teaching children how to express needs and develop positive peer relationships. Staff use visual supports, structured schedules, and evidence-based strategies to help children with language and transition challenges. Daily activities include academic lessons in math, science, and language, along with hands-on projects that promote independence and confidence. All staff are specially trained to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities, always focusing on the child first.
