Respite Basics

  • Lunch is provided - usually cheese or hamburger pizza or chicken nuggets and fries plus Sprite or water. If your child has food allergies or is on a special diet, please pack a lunch.
  • One afternoon snack is provided - usually Sprite and water plus a banana and “goldfish” crackers. If your child has food allergies or is on a special diet, please pack a lunch.
  • Dress your child in comfortable clothes.
    To participate in Respite Day, each child must have a church consent form and registration information on file.This is required so volunteers may provide a safe environment for your child.
  • Medications for children must be administered by parents before arrival at Respite Day. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. For your child's safety and the safety of others, please alert staff of any medication changes that might affect your child’s behavior.
  • Please be respectful of the drop-off and pick-up times. We cannot accept children early as we are preparing for the session, and we cannot accommodate late pick-ups as we need to return the space to the church promptly.
