Children with the most complex medical needs are still kids. They love and need to play and have the same desires and interests all children share. Kids deserve an atmosphere that is playful and warm, one in which they have fun while forming secure, stable relationships. That is exactly the atmosphere at Child's Way . Because Child's Way is family-centered, the staff works closely with parents, who know best their children's likes, dislikes, and referred routines.
Special training helps parents reinforce at home the progress made during the day.
Support groups help reduce the isolation often felt by families of medically fragile children. The Staff Members of the Child's Way staff are carefully selected for their knowledge, experience, personal qualities, and ability to deal well with children who have significant medical needs. A staff of professional registered nurse experienced in pediatrics health care ensures that each child receives high quality, consistent appropriate care and services. The nurses are also responsible for ongoing assessment of each child's progress. A child life specialist creates approaches and activities to help the child progress toward his or her maximum potential.
