These students must be between 3 and 21 years of age.
The program is run throughout the year - yes, during the suumer - from Monday through Friday starting at 2:00 p.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m.
The program is closed during most school year holiday breaks.
We open early when schools have half-day sessions. Students can attend part time depending on the family needs.
The program is held at the Evanoff Center located at 1680 West Sherman Avenue in Vineland.

The students will be supervised by trained personnel at a minimum student to staff ratio of 4 to 1.
A variety of educational activities will be provided in addition to outdoor play, cooking instruction, arts & crafts, table games, music activities, etc.
We will provide specific supplemental instruction with your child�s regular education program.

Many of the local school districts will transport our students to the Evanoff Center, but the parent must pick them up at the end of the session.
