Whole Children offers programs and classes for children from toddler through teens with a range of abilities and special needs. The goal of our programs is to meet each child at their skill level in the most appropriate environment for that child.
To that end we offer classes, small group lessons, and team and outdoor sports. Our classes incorporate social skills training and practice. The emphasis in all classes is on finding and celebrating children’s individual strengths, having fun, and making and sustaining friendships.
Whole Children is a program of Pathlight.
