About our Arden-Arcade Location

Amenities

Our Day Program in Arden-Arcade, Sacramento is open from 8:30 AM-11:30 AM Mondays, and 8:30 AM-1:00 PM Tuesday-Friday. This facility is situated near many fun community gathering spaces! Country Club Bowling Lanes is right next door, as well as Cinema West Movie Theaters. We go on Community Outings to many different locations in the Sacramento area, such as KCRA3 News where we met the weather man, the Golden 1 Center, Old Sacramento, the Nimbus Fish Hatchery, the Country Club Mall, our state Capitol, and even the local Croatian Hall where we have lunch, play bocce ball, and engage with the community. Sometimes we even bring the community to us! Groups like the Dental Fair have visited us to show us how to care for our teeth.

Exercise

We provide lots of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor exercise. For indoor exercise, we have exercise bikes, stair steppers, and exercise balls. For outdoor exercise, we often go on walks around campus or to nearby shopping centers. Anyone can participate in our Weight Winners program and earn Panda Bucks as a reward for achieving a weight goal or maintaining a consistent weight! Panda Bucks can be redeemed at student store where they get to pick from a selection of prizes!

iPads

Staff are supplied with an iPad for others to use for any number of fun and educational activities. This includes taking photos with peers, accessing the internet, watching YouTube videos and PBS shows, learning new skills with Khan Academy, puzzles, memory games, chess, bowling, and much more! Check it out!

Curriculum

Client curriculum is heavily geared toward improving academic skills like math and reading comprehension. Staff host daily Zoom conferences for all to join where they explore such topics as science experiments, reading the news, arts & crafts, music & dance, trivia, cooking, American Sign Language, and popular culture like Pokémon and Harry Potter! Everyone is given opportunities throughout the week to earn Panda Bucks, which they can spend on snacks or toys at the Student Store on Friday! An individualized plan for certain Goals and Objectives is created and regularly updated for each client. This gives clients feasible goals to work towards and gives staff the opportunity to work with each person on a personal level.
