Welcome to Sheltered Hearts

We are an after school program specialized in caring for school-aged children, 6-12 years, with special needs. We also offer outreach programs for teens aged 13-16. We believe in treating all children as our own, bringing love and fun to a well-rounded education.

Whole-Child Learning Environment

The best learning environment for children balances the child’s physical, mental, social, and emotional needs. We support this approach by offering activities to support your child’s growth and development in each of these areas.

Arts + Crafts

Each child is born special and unique, with his or her own individual personality, strengths, interests, and skills. We believe in identifying these unique talents and nurturing them, while building confidence in our students to achieve all that they set out to do.

Science + Nature

A child’s natural-born curiosity is his greatest and most important quality. We don’t ever want to quiet that. By allowing students to interact with their environment and surroundings in healthy ways and under careful supervision, we can encourage them to learn through exploration, stimulating a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

Language + Math

We all need a little extra help sometimes. And we feel it much more important to teach a child how to think, not what to think. With tailored lesson plans and educational games, we aim to support your child’s education in mathematics, language arts, and more.
