A mother's idea to create a safe space for kids with Down syndrome has flourished into a colorful, inclusive community!
"I mean, I've always been very interested in working with kids with developmental disabilities," said Melissa Burgos, who worked with the Special Olympics as a teenager. "Coincidentally, I had a son with Down syndrome."
"Having a place that our kids could come together without judgment and be able to learn and grow was really always a goal and a dream of mine," she said. "We were very fortunate to receive an endowment, then finally have the finances to be able to bring this to fruition." Finally, in late 2021, Club DREAMS became an in-person reality. The colorful blue and yellow oasis provides a playground full of enrichment activities fit for children with similar ability levels. Activities include after school homework, yoga, dance, game nights, and more.
