WHAT A YEAR 2020 WAS. From March to August, our teachers and therapists worked hard to educate and support our kids like Nick through Google Classroom, other online strategies and phone meetings with families. We were back to our regular onsite program in September but here we are in January again engaged in virtual learning. Kids are resilient and ours are up for the challenge, but we can’t wait to provide the face-to-face interaction that is so important for children with special needs!

WE'RE MISSING ----- Bingo World Richmond Hill!
While we are all in a Grey-Lockdown Zone, bingo halls and casinos are closed. Giant Steps is one of many local charities that benefit from Bingo in Richmond Hill, a significant source of funds every year for our kids' occupational therapy program.
Can't wait for us all to be in a better space and Bingo can open!
