Chriselda Vargas Joins Our Staff

Hannah's Hope would like to welcome Chriselda Vargas to our staff. Chriselda recently graduated from Del Mar where she has been studying to become an occupational therapist. She will work with our kids individually on fine motor skills and lead our group motor room activities, as well as, assist teachers during other group times. We are glad to have you join our team, Chriselda!

Last Day of Class

Hannah O. and Hannah C. enjoy one last "circle time" with Ms. Robin before summer break begins. All students will return to school on June 7th. The morning session will be 8:30-11:30 and the afternoon session will be 12:30-3:30 Monday through Friday. Hope everyone has a fun and safe break.

Probably the favorite room at the school is the "motor room". This is where we work on gross motor activities. Ms. Robin begins by leading everyone in a short "focus" activity. Then, the children are taken through a fun obstacle course which may include: crawling through a tunnel, jumping on the trampoline, rolling on a therapy ball, etc. The last few minutes are spent in "free time" with teachers keeping a sharp eye on each child to make sure no one gets hurt.

Construction Has Begun!

Future site of "Hannah's Hope".

Yes, construction has begun at the house on Chaparral. This will be the future location of Hannah's Hope. Our plan is to be moved in by the beginning of our Fall Semester which will start on August 22nd.

I would like to express our appreciation to Les and Tracy Cassidy for making this learning center a reality by donating the use of this house. None of this would be possible without their help.

The renovations are looking great! A new porch has been built, new doors have been installed and walls have been constructed to create more storage space. I will continue to update as the work progresses.
