Our Programs
Education Program
Summer Program
Respite Program
A Taste of Learning’s Education Program is designed for neurodivergent and diverse learners, centering each child’s strengths, interests, and needs. Our individualized approach combines certified BC curriculum goals with enrichment in life skills, social growth, sensory learning, and creative expression. With support from families and allied professionals, we develop personalized plans that empower students to grow academically and thrive emotionally, socially, and independently
Our Summer Program provides children with a warm, supportive environment to explore, discover, and create. Rooted in nature, hands-on learning, and sensory-rich experiences, our program encourages each learner to connect with peers and the world around them. Days are filled with outdoor adventures, gardening, cooking, art, and play, fostering curiosity and confidence while helping children build friendships and lasting memories
We offer Respite Services to give families peace of mind and children a safe, nurturing space to flourish. With compassionate, experienced staff and trauma-sensitive practices, our respite options range from one-on-one support to small group activities. Whether for short breaks, after-school care, or extended time, we help foster positive relationships, self-confidence, and meaningful, joyful experiences—giving caregivers the space to recharge and children the chance to shine.
