Program FAQ:
What’s the difference between Uniquely Yours and individualized therapy (ABA/OT/PT/ST)?
> Therapies like ABA, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech are medical or clinical services that focus on treating specific developmental challenges. Uniquely Yours is a supportive learning environment where children practice social, communication, and daily living skills through structured activities with peers. Therapy treats, while our program helps children practice and apply skills in real-life settings.
What makes Uniquely Yours different from traditional childcare?
> Uniquely Yours was created specifically for individuals with disabilities who may not be successful in traditional childcare settings. Our program is designed with smaller ratios, individualized support, and staff trained to work with complex needs. We focus on creating an environment where children are included, supported, and valued, while still having fun and building friendships with peers.
Will my child be included with peers?
> Yes. One of our core values is belonging. Children will participate in activities alongside peers whenever possible, with the supports they need to be successful. We focus on creating opportunities for social connection, shared activities, and friendships, while still honoring each individual’s unique needs.
Do you offer transportation?
> Transportation is not currently available. However, it is in our 3 year development plan as we grow and expand services.
What training do staff receive?
> Our staff are trained to support individuals with disabilities and may receive training in areas such as: behavior support strategies, communication supports, safety awareness, personal care needs, and inclusive recreational programming.
Financial and Payment FAQ:
Is there an enrollment fee?
> Yes. There is a one time $50 enrollment fee per child.
How are program rates determined?
> Rates are based on the tier of support your child requires, which is determined during your enrollment assessment. The support tier placement reflects staffing ratios, level of supervision, and individualized support needed for safe and meaningful participation.
Why are the program rates higher than traditional childcare?
> Programs like Uniquely Yours operate with much higher staffing and training requirements because the children we serve often need individualized support for safety, communication, and daily participation. Our goal isn’t just supervision – it’s creating a place where children with complex disabilities can safely play, learn, and build friendships while giving families the support they desperately need.
What if I’m on the waitlist for family support?
> If you are currently on the family support waitlist, you may still be able to access state respite funding through approved respite hours. In addition, we are working to offer scholarship opportunities to help make services more accessible for families when possible.
Do you accept insurance?
> At this time, we do not accept insurance. Our services are private pay, though some families may be able to use state respite funding or other support programs to cover costs.
What if I can’t afford the program?
> We understand the financial challenges many families face. Some families may be able to use: daycare assistance, state respite funding, scholarship opportunities. We are happy to help families explore available funding options.
Do you accept daycare assistance?
> Yes, we accept daycare assistance (DCA) for eligible families to attend our programs. However, families may need to pay some out of pocket costs dependent on scholarship availability.
