Special Needs & Inclusion

The Constance & David Blacher Children’s Special Needs Program

At Mandel JCC of the Palm Beaches, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where children of all abilities can thrive. Our Special Needs and Inclusion programs are designed to ensure that every child has the opportunity to participate fully in our community, build friendships, and achieve personal growth.

Inclusive Environment: We believe in the power of inclusion and strive to create spaces where all children can engage in activities alongside their peers. This inclusive approach promotes social interaction, enhances self-esteem, and helps every child feel a sense of belonging.

Tailored Support: Understanding that each child is unique, our programs offer individualized support to meet the diverse needs of our participants. Our experienced staff work closely with children to help them develop important skills, from social interaction to physical coordination, while providing the encouragement and guidance they need to succeed.

Skill Development: Our activities are thoughtfully designed to cater to the specific needs of children with exceptionalities. From sensory experiences to physical activities, we focus on enhancing and developing skills that are crucial to each child’s personal growth.

Dedicated Staff: Our team is trained to support children with a wide range of abilities. With a low participant-to-staff ratio, we ensure that each child receives the attention and care necessary for a safe and rewarding experience.

Parental Involvement: We value the partnership with parents and guardians and keep them informed of their child's progress. Regular communication helps us tailor our approach to best meet the needs of each child, ensuring a cohesive and supportive experience.

At Mandel JCC, our Special Needs and Inclusion programs are more than just activities—they are opportunities for every child to discover their potential, connect with others, and flourish in a nurturing community.
