These services are designed to help individuals live independently, access necessary care, and maintain their quality of life while staying in their familiar environment.

Our school provides wrap around services in a nurturing and structured environment to ensure the growth of our students. We offer small class sizes, with a low student-to-support staff ratio to ensure our students get the support they need. Esperanza Art Studio: Our art program offers a creative and inclusive space where participants can express themselves, explore artistic endeavors, and develop skills.
