A special message about our holiday event:
Whispers in Santa’s ear, so very private and sincere....he is patient and oh so careful about what he hears. Santa's stories are about giving, loving and trust...it is so important to the children to have this personal moment.
Parents tell amazing stories of sharing with other parents their children's challenges and triumphs. They are able to share in this common community the most intimate stories of family and life in a special needs world.
The joy of a face painted, a unique balloon created to take home, a personal picture with Santa, music that makes a kid dance and sway to its rhythms....it is all part of the moment. Every year the same gratitude is told over and over from the children with an enormous smile and thank you, and from the caregivers who for a time find a safe place to celebrate the season with all the family together.
