Serving Children with Special Needs in School Age Care
School Age Care strives to serve all children. With appropriate advanced planning, most children with special needs can successfully participate. School Age Care does not responsible for the implementation of a child’s IEP (the IEP is part of the instructional day).
School Age Care is a very active childcare environment, with multiple free-choice activities. Children, staff, and family come and go throughout our childcare schedule. Such a busy environment may not suit the needs of all children.
In order to best meet special needs, the following is critical in determining the appropriate supports for success:
- Complete information regarding your child’s special needs including supports your child typically uses.
- Discuss your child’s needs with a School Age Care staff member before signing up.
- If it is determined a child needs additional support in order to be successful in School Age Care, without the need to significantly alter the program, enrollment will be dependent on finding the appropriate staff.
Children whose behaviors create a safety risk, harm to themselves, others, or property, or for whom substantial alterations to the program are required, may be removed from the program or not approved for enrollment.

Connection and relationship building is at the core of our work.
