Child Life

The Harper Family Foundation Child Life Program

Our Child Life Program is an integral part of the overall care and well-being of each child that comes to Almost Home Kids. By facilitating play opportunities, at the bedside and in playrooms, their continued growth and development is greatly enhanced.

The Child Life Specialist benefits our program by:

• Creating a sense of routine by helping children maintain independence, self-esteem and confidence.
• Minimizing stress by encouraging positive coping behaviors.
• Helping children prepare for and understand medical procedures and experiences.
