* To help children achieve their greatest level of independence through life skills training
Respite for Children with Special Needs
Zach's place was established to provide families in the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas a place for respite care for their children with disabilities ages 5 to 21. Originally it was designed for children with developmental disabilities but it is open to others as well. We offer structured and free play and also teach life skills and socialization skills. We provide respite (temporary time apart for parent/caregiver and child) in a home-like environment and also have children daily after school and on school breaks. We aim to provide very flexible scheduling and individualized support so as to serve as many families as we can, with most families currently using our services after school and any time on weekends. Zach’s Place operates on a sliding fee scale and will support you in accessing community funding sources. Serving you and your child comes first and we want to do everything possible to make it happen! Thank you for your interest! Whether you are a parent, a teacher, or another interested party please call us or stop by. We would love to show you around and to share our excitement about all that we are doing at Zach’s Place!
