When school is out for session or out for the summer, We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym – Tarzana is here to help! During our School’s Out Program, we offer a range of day-long activities for children of all abilities. So don’t stress when your child is home from school with nothing to do, instead sign him or her up for our School’s Out Program instead!

Why Do We Have a School’s Out Program?

Offering a School’s out Program goes back to our mission to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment to foster learning, exploration and sensory-safe experiences for all children. Many day programs cater to neurotypical children only, meaning that when a child who has autism or special needs is not in school, a parent’s life can become even more chaotic. We want to help provide resources and places for families from all walks of life to go and enjoy. By having programs that are inclusive for children with autism and special needs, we’re working to fill a need in the special needs community.

Is the School’s Out Program Only for the Special Needs Population?

Absolutely not, but at We Rock the Spectrum we believe in an inclusive environment, and that means that we will accept children of all abilities. Our motto is “Finally a place where you never have to say “I’m Sorry!”.  We strive to create an environment everyday where all children can play, learn, and grow together.

What’s Included in Our School’s Out Program?

The exact activities offered for our School’s Out Program vary for every program, but below are the main options that you can expect when signing up:

• Orlando’s Music Class
• Arts & Crafts
• Fun Fitness
• Delicious Food

How Does Our School’s Out Program Work?

Our programs typically consist of two sessions: a morning session and an afternoon session. There is also an option to sign up for both sessions at a discounted rate. Open Play, which is full use of our gym and all of its sensory-safe equipment, is included in all sessions. We like to break up the day with intervals of Open Play so that the children have time to unwind and explore the gym and all it has to offer at their own pace.

During the sessions, children will be able to participate in fun activities that we have planned or classes such as Yoga, Zooz Fun Fitness, or Orlando’s Music Class. We also provide food for the children, and if not we will specify on the promotion.

Each session includes a fun arts & crafts project that is designed for children of all abilities to be able to participate in. Our helpful staff works with every kid to make sure they are receiving the support needed to feel included and to have fun! Sometimes, we even feature fun, sensory-friendly projects for the kiddos to partake in. Check out our blog post about fun sensory play activities to learn more.

If school is out for session or out for the summer, you can bet that our School’s Out Program will be running! For specific times, prices, and dates though, we recommend checking our Facebook page. We will advertise all School’s Out Programs there first!
