The Day School is really helping Wayne become more independent as he prepares for life after school.
We were just one little family with a child who was different, climbing this huge mountain of medical complexity and feeling lost, scared, and alone. And then, thank goodness, we discovered The Children's Institute.
The Day School provides a warm and caring environment structured around high standards and accountability that is customized to meet the needs of each student. They also include the needs of our whole family in Harry's educational care.

Many families discuss the possibility of an out-of-district placement with their school district first, then connect with our team and schedule a tour. While school district referrals are most common, we welcome medical professionals, related service providers, parents, and caregivers to inquire about our programs.
