At Echo, we embrace a compassionate desire to provide much needed rest to parents and/or primary caretakers of students with special needs. Echo Respite Care events offer 3 hours of safe, structured, staffed care for special needs students and their siblings while their parents or primary caretakers enjoy a well-deserved break.

Our next Respite Care event will be in 2025. Check back soon for more details!

At our Respite Care events, Echo provides:

• Compassionate adult volunteer staff who are each background checked, interviewed, trained, and onboarded for safe, responsible ministry to children.
• 3 hours of programming to include crafts, gross motor skills, music, motion, movement, and “brain breaks” along the way.  Students will be organized into smaller groups of 10-12 students with a ratio of about 1 adult for every 2 students.
• On-site security and nurse to provide support for any needs that may arise.
• Sensory rooms for students in need of a calming environment.
• An opportunity for you to have a few hours of rest knowing that your child(ren) are in a safe place with people who will care for them.
