Hope Haven

At Hope Haven we understand that your child’s needs for high-quality, supportive learning and enriching experiences continue after the school day ends. Our Hope After School program provides a safe, structured after-school setting for youth aged 3 to 22 with physical and/or developmental disabilities where they can learn, grow and have fun.

Weekly activities enjoyed by students in our Hope After School program include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sports and games
Creative arts
Homework/academic help
Nutrition lessons
Computers
Music and movement
Social skills

Our one-to-five staff-to-student ratio will give your family peace of mind knowing that your precious family members have our full attention and focus as they enhance their social skills, develop independent living skills and improve academically within our after-school program.

To ensure a safe, stable environment, we do ask that all our students are able to participate in a group setting. If your child requires one-on-one assistance, we will happily provide you with guidance and advice on possible options. Sometimes students are able to participate in a group setting with the support of an ABA (trained in Applied Behavior Analysis), and we can help you explore this further.

Hope After School programming begins on Tuesday, August 10, 2021.

We are open on school days, Monday–Thursday, 2:30 p.m.–7 p.m, and Friday, 2:30 p.m.–6 p.m. On early release days, Hope After School conveniently opens at 1 p.m. Hope After School is $125 per week, billed monthly.

Because we understand how difficult it can be to arrange alternative care or take off from work when schools close, we offer Days of Hope on some school holidays (an additional fee applies). We announce dates and details well in advance to assist with planning.

Transportation to Hope Haven may be provided for children and young adults attending private schools. Students who attend a Duval County Public School can ride the school bus to Hope Haven. Please contact us with specific questions about transportation arrangements for your student.
Hope Haven provides group and individual tutoring, computer-based tutoring and special reading programs coordinating each lesson with classroom activities for maximum benefit to the client.
