Whale Respite Center

WHALE, Inc. of Weld County will provide quality short-term care for children with delays or disabilities, and respite for their families with the overarching goal of enhancing their quality of life, improving wellness, and strengthening the family unit. The physical safety, and emotional well-being, of children and youth is sustained through the preservation of lifelong connections to their families, culture, spirituality, and communities. WHALE, Inc. supports the community’s families and children. Through WHALE’s respite services, the organization will strive to achieve the goal of providing children with delays and disabilities with the opportunity to be in a safe environment with trained staff members who can meet each child’s diverse and individual needs, have social interaction with peers, and participate in sports and/or activities that they may not otherwise be able to due to physical, cognitive, communicative, or behavioral differences. Respite services will also provide school-aged youth a place to participate in social opportunities, tutoring for educational needs, adaptive sports, and activities of all kinds to help young people with delays and disabilities thrive in their environments outside of the school setting.
