Mini Dreamers

Give your child the opportunity to thrive with our Mini Dreamers program—designed especially for kids ages 6 to 13 with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Available during spring, summer, and winter breaks, Mini Dreamers is more than just a program—it’s an experience that empowers children to build confidence, explore their creativity, and connect with peers in a fun, supportive setting.

Program Highlights:

Hands-On Workshops:
Your child will enjoy simple, safe cooking projects that build motor skills and encourage independence. Our guided art and DIY craft sessions spark imagination and boost self-expression, helping your child discover new talents.

Game-Based Learning:
Mini Dreamers blends learning with fun. Educational puzzles and memory games reinforce classroom concepts, while adapted sports and group challenges promote teamwork, physical activity, and skill development.

Community Field Trips:
We organize supervised visits to local museums, parks, and attractions, offering real-world learning experiences that foster curiosity and community connection.

Social Connection Time:
Our structured hang-outs give children a chance to practice communication skills, form friendships, and unwind in a relaxed, supportive environment.

At Easterseals Northeast Indiana, we’re dedicated to helping every child reach their full potential. Enroll your child in Mini Dreamers today and give them a springboard to confidence, creativity, and connection that lasts a lifetime.

We also offer a Dream Teens program for students ages 14 to 22.
