Our Centre
Hours of Operation:
TEMPORARILY CLOSED.
Rachel’s Kids House of Hope opened on January 18th, 2017. Here at the House of Hope, we pride ourselves in helping our little locals realize big dreams with the help of our resource center and sensory room. We have a beautiful center with an array of stimulating toys and equipment with stations offering the children state of the art tactile and sensory processing tools keeping them engaged, active and creative. We also have a half kitchen and an art room. The House of Hope is open to everyone in our community to use as a safe place to take your children for learning and fun.
Our facility is for children of all developmental capacities!
Sensory Room
Sensory rooms are specially designed therapy rooms that develop an individual’s senses through lighting, textures, colours, music and specialized equipment. It is beneficial for children with or without sensory processing disorders. At the House of Hope, we’ve created a state of the art room that is truly unique to our community!
Our room is divided into 3 sections;
– An area for physical development
In this area, we’ve equipped it with a trampoline, cuddle swing, spinning tops, weighted blanket/vest, etc.
– An area for tactile stimulation
This area is equipped with a giant tactile caterpillar, tactile panels all over the walls, feel and find games, tactile solution boxes, etc.
– An area for visual stimulation
We’ve equipped this section with 3 large bubble tubes, an interactive sound and light floor panel, fiber optics, etc.
Community Room
Our community room is where children get to play and relax while parents and care givers get access to resources on services offered in our community. For the children, we have an I-Pad station, a GestureTek interactive projector, arts and craft and a quiet reading area. The resource station for parents/guardians/ teachers and workers offer them a place where they can ask questions regarding their child’s development, access to our PEC’s (Picture Exchange Communication) library and find information on how to access services in SD&G that can help with early intervention
Art Room
A.K.A the Splatter Room! We call it the art splatter room because it’s a free space for children to express themselves through art without the worry of keeping the paint on their paper or easel. Yes, you read that correctly, the children are encouraged to paint freely and not worry about getting paint on the walls or floors. Our splatter paint room offers six stationary easels, water-based paint, brushes and rollers, smocks and paper. We love to see our little Picassos put their creativity from paint brush to paper for display. Art can be a wonderful facilitator in forming connections with peers.
Kitchenette
Our kitchenette is open for parents and caregivers to use while they are visiting the centre.
