At Dall'Inizio DaySchool, we provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for ALL children to learn and grow. Our experienced staff is dedicated to ensuring that each child feels valued and supported, and our curriculum is designed to promote physical, emotional, and intellectual development.
Because we embrace individuality, we tend to be a popular camp with children who have unique challenges of all kinds, and we truly embrace those children. We will make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures, when the modifications are necessary to afford services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations to individuals with any type of unique challenge or disabilities.
We are a seasonal summer day camp, therefore our abilities are limited. If your child has a one-to-one in a school setting, we require that your child also has a one-to-one in our camp setting.
The health and safety of every camper is our top priority. The A.D.A does not require a public accommodation to permit an individual to participate in or benefit from services, facilities and accommodations of that public accommodation when the individual poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others. If your child is physically aggressive with other children for example, alternative arrangements may have to be discussed.
You know your child better than anyone else, and you will know the best way to help them be successful in summer camp. Always speak to a supervisor if you are having trouble with modifications.
Our school maintains an equal opportunity child care policy.
