A day your child can predict
Same arrival, same rhythm, same faces. Predictability is not rigidity — it’s what frees a child up to be curious.
Specialized autism daycare and developmental support for children ages 2–12 — in a room built around how they actually learn, play, and rest.
Talk to Martica directly. No phone tree, no waiting list form.
We serve children with autism ages 2 to 12, and we serve their families right alongside them. Some of our kids are verbal. Some aren’t. Some need the lights low and the room quiet; some need to move all day. None of that is a problem here — it’s the starting point.
What makes us different is the combination: individualized care, structured learning, and heartfelt compassion. Structure gives a child something to lean on. Compassion is what makes them willing to try.
Full-day care in a room designed for autistic children, with a predictable rhythm to the day and adults who know each child’s signals.
We write a plan for your child, not for a diagnosis. Goals, triggers, calming strategies, communication style — and we revisit it as they grow.
Lighting, sound, textures, and quiet corners are all part of the setup. A child who is regulated can learn. A child who is overwhelmed can’t.
Dressing, eating, cleaning up, asking for help, moving through transitions. Small skills, practiced daily, that make home life easier too.
For the days you need a few hours. You get a break; your child gets a place they already know and people they already trust.
A lot of programs pick one. Structure without warmth feels like a clinic. Warmth without structure leaves a child unmoored. We hold both, every day.
Same arrival, same rhythm, same faces. Predictability is not rigidity — it’s what frees a child up to be curious.
Interests are leverage. If it’s trains, we count with trains, sort with trains, take turns with trains.
We look for what a meltdown is telling us instead of trying to make it stop faster.
You know your child better than we do. We ask, we listen, and we tell you the truth about how the day went.
“Every child deserves a place where they don’t have to be somebody else all day.”Martica Surratt — Founder
Four steps, and you can stop at any one of them. Nobody is going to push you.
Tell us your child’s age and a little about their day. Fifteen minutes on the phone tells us both a lot.
Visit with your child if you’d like. Watch how the room feels to them. That reaction matters more than anything we can say.
Goals, triggers, what calms them, how they communicate, what a hard day looks like. We write it down and we use it.
Short days first if that helps. We build up at whatever pace your child sets, not the one on a calendar.
The fastest way to reach us is a phone call — you’ll get Martica, not a receptionist. If it’s easier to write it out, use the form and we’ll get back to you.
