Home Living Skills Training

Need help in training children in basic daily living skills, social thinking and etiquette? Our late evening Home Living Skills Training may be just the thing you need. We have designed our learning time for one of the most hectic times of the day for those who work late into the evening and need a safe family home environment for their children to "learn and live" in a way that is promoting their social/emotional/spiritual well being.

All learning activities are based on how we live in our first community - the family. Age appropriate activities are designed for each child based on mental/physical ability and comprehension and are built upon each time we come together. Children learn needed tools to live and grow within a family unit promoting and producing household stability and peace. Not only that, but the children will learn that contributing to their family is important and they will develop a greater confidence.

Children will participate in a family style dinner each night. During this time we will be learning to wait our turn, serve one another, prefer others before ourselves, table manners, waiting until some one else is finished speaking, and sharing about God and life. This time together is always a lot of fun!

The skills list below gives you just a glimpse of some of the daily living skills your child will be learning while staying with us. Please let us know if there are specific skills you would like your child to master. We look forward to serving your family during these early years.
