The “Encore” Evening Respite Program
Monserrato The purpose of this program is to provide services to individuals in need of supervision, socialization, and recreational activity during evening hours (3:30 pm – 6:30 pm) on Monday through Friday. This program begins shortly after typical day programs end providing a continuum of care for individuals in need of this service. Encore is a unique respite program in that we strive to provide an engaging environment that supports learning and recreation during hours of respite. This program creates learning opportunities to practice reading, writing, and math skills in an applied setting within the community. We also emphasize exposure to and hands-on learning of music and art. We hope to inspire expression through various art mediums by building confidence through familiarity with various art forms. Finally, our program promotes healthy lifestyles by providing fitness and exercise opportunities in our sports program. Our sports program incorporates individual preference and interest and provides opportunities to practice different types of sports and recreational fitness.
