Sensory Zone Update:

We wanted to share an update regarding our Sensory Zone programming.

At this time, our Saturday drop-in program is temporarily closed due to low enrollment. While we had hoped to continue offering this option, we did not receive enough interest to sustain the program.

That said, our Sensory Zone space continues to be available in other ways:

  • Private rentals are available on Saturdays and Sundays for families and community use
  • Our Respite workers are welcome to access the space during open availability times
  • Drop off respite – booked at minimum 2 weeks in advance.

We remain committed to providing accessible, flexible opportunities for families to enjoy our space in a way that best meets their needs.

If you are interested in booking a rental or learning more about availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support!
