Thank goodness with the help of our social worker we found this amazing day care & respite facility for our daughter. She has experienced a wealth of care from the wonderful, thoughtful and professional staff. The activities are many and varied. She arrives each weekday morning with a smile & giggle as she is so happy to be there. It is a home away from home as opposed to a facility. I cannot praise the home and the staff enough.
