This is a social service that provides children with a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment throughout the day.
Day care services are designed to support a child’s daily functioning, independence, socialization, and inclusion in community life. The service is provided for children with disabilities, developmental delays, behavioral challenges, severe health conditions, and other support needs requiring ongoing care and assistance.
Within the service, children receive care, developmental and therapeutic support, assistance with daily living skills, learning, communication, and social interaction. Support is tailored to the individual needs of each child and focuses on building practical skills that promote greater independence in everyday life.
Professionals at the center help children develop communication, emotional, social, and daily living skills while supporting adaptation and interaction with peers. An important part of the service is creating an environment of safety, acceptance, dignity, and respect for every child.
The service may include support from a multidisciplinary team, including social workers, psychologists, educators, rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals according to the child’s individual support plan.
Day care services also provide important support for parents and caregivers by helping reduce the daily caregiving burden, creating opportunities for work, rest, and addressing family needs, while supporting the child’s ability to remain within their family and community environment.
Day care is a modern community-based alternative to institutional care and is aimed at ensuring that every child has the opportunity to live, develop, and actively participate in society within their own community.
