OUR MISSION
eSPECIALly 4 You Child Care is very similar to private respite services. We offer in-home evening care in a handicap accessible home. Our services are available 1-2 times each month and are specifically intended for children with disabilities. The goal of our services is to provide top-of-the-line, quality care for children with special needs so parents can have a care-free, relaxing night to spend time with one another. Especially 4 You has been opened since 2013!
During our care services, the children will participate in child-centered, socially-promoting activities. They will also be given a healthy and appropriate dinner, all while your child's best interest is considered and incorporated into their care in all areas. Our hope is for parents to be able to enjoy a date night or a night alone, knowing that every dynamic of their child's needs are being met. Everyone deserves a night off!
What separates our services from the rest is the direct care offered to your child with disabilities. Our care services fall anywhere between one to two times each month, with the new monthly calendar coming out one week before the month begins. The owner, Emily, has created a home to welcome children of all abilities to come and enjoy spending time with their friends.
Our staff is highly experienced and remains consistent. Emily and Kelsey have a range of experience working with individuals with disabilities. They are trained in areas such as CPR, first aid, stop the bleed, allergies, and epilepsy. Our team is able to provide tube feedings, breathing treatments, and administer medications. Both are familiar with a variety of communication devices, sensory concerns, and behavior supports. Visuals are provided to help everyone communicate. Our team is familiar with basic braille and American sign language. We have a group of volunteers that engage with the children throughout our care nights. At Especially 4 You, it is our goal to make sure your child's interests are taking into consideration and an environment is set up to allow your child to feel welcomed and have fun!

During the warm sunny months, we have a backyard play space with multiple swings, slide, and trampoline. We have a water table, bubble machine, and a disco light! In 2022, the basement was remodeled to create an indoor backyard. The basement has two swings, a ninja course, trampoline, punching bag, and a sensory friendly busy board. Every child's needs and interest were taken into consideration when creating this space.
