Oklahoma Life Skills Association: Special Kids
Mission:
Special Kids mission is to offer childcare to families who have a child with a developmental, emotional, medical or physical challenge so that parents may work or attend school. Special Kids believes that access to safe and appropriate childcare will empower families and will create opportunities for families and children to participate fully within the community. At Special Kids we believe that children with and without special needs are better served by growing learning and playing together. The program maintains a ratio of approximately 1/3 typical to 2/3 special needs. Special Kids is the only non-profit, special needs childcare facility in Tulsa. Our waiting list averages approximately 50 children. Special Kids offers on site therapy,early learning, before & after school care, full and part time day care hours for special needs children who attend non-traditional school hours and summer enrichment. OLSA also offers evening respite, advocacy to school age children, support group meetings and referral to community resources.
