What is the typical day like for a St. Joseph Childrens Home resident?
Like most children, ours start out with completing their hygiene regimen and eating breakfast. They go to school, come home, eat a snack and do homework. After that, they go outside to play on the playground, ride bikes, or participate in other activities until dinnertime. Our Activities Program offers them opportunities in the performance and visual arts; a variety of sports, as well as fun in the Game Room (wii games, movies, Playstation II, pool, etc.) Then they eat supper, take their baths, play, watch TV, listen to music, read, eat an evening snack, brush their teeth, play in their rooms and go to bed. Various appointments, family visits and therapy sessions are scheduled throughout the month. Good behavior earns positive rewards such as tokens for the snack bar and time in the Game Room.
