We understand that every individual has unique needs. That’s why our Day Scholar program offers flexible attendance options. Whether someone wishes to attend two days a week, three days, or all five, we tailor the schedule to best suit their needs and circumstances. This flexibility ensures that participants and their families can create a routine that works best for them.
To ensure that we provide the best experience for each participant, an interview is required before joining the program. This helps us understand individual requirements to ensure that Sunfield Home Howick is the right fit. During the interview process, we discuss the participant’s needs, preferences, and how our program can provide the best support.
If you or a loved one are interested in becoming a day scholar at Sunfield Home, we encourage you to reach out for more information and to schedule an interview.
