Children’s Enrichment Programs
About
For young children, learning is happening all the time. The Chicago Lighthouse’s new Children’s Enrichment Program is a series of six-week learning sessions that reinforce our commitment to serving the educational, therapeutic, social-emotional and community and family needs of children with disabilities.
Each class will focus on a separate learning area: Literacy, Social Skills, Music Therapy and Art Therapy. These programs are available to all children 0-6 with disabilities – and especially those with visually disabilities at both our downtown and Glenview locations.
Families attend free/Siblings are welcome/Spaces may be limited so register now.
