This year, participants can take advantage of the many experiences offered by the hotel as well as activities in our home base. We will provide games and activities designed to let participants explore, play and take in their surroundings as interest level allows.
We are pleased to offer multiple care options.
Daycare options for
PMS individuals of all ages
1:1 ratio
HIGHEST SUPPORT
Each Phelan-McDermid syndrome individual is paired with one dedicated caregiver.
This option is recommended for Phelan-McDermid syndrome individuals who require continuous one-on-one supervision or assistance, including those who may be at risk for:
-
Elopement
-
Choking or mouthing items
-
Falling
-
Grabbing, biting, or harming others
-
Aspiration
-
Other safety concerns requiring constant oversight and monitoring
Families selecting this option will be asked whether they grant permission for the caregiver to take their Phelan-McDermid syndrome individual on supervised walks around the hotel campus.
If you would like your Phelan-McDermid syndrome individual to explore the hotel campus with their caregiver, you must select this 1:1 highest support option. Your loved one with Phelan-McDermid syndrome may not leave the daycare area without the 1:1 highest support option. Please note: excursions will not include the waterpark area.
1:2 ratio
LOWER SUPPORT
One caregiver provides shared support for two Phelan-McDermid syndrome individuals.
This option is intended for more independent Phelan-McDermid syndrome individuals who:
-
Do not require continuous one-on-one supervision
-
Can safely participate in structured activities with shared support.
-
Are comfortable remaining within designated daycare spaces
-
Are able to follow basic verbal instructions
Please note: If your Phelan-McDermid syndrome individual will want to walk around the hotel campus, the 1:1 highest support option is required.
Daycare options for
Siblings with age-appropriate support needs
Ages 0 to 5 years
Sibling daycare
Children ages 0–5 will remain in the daycare rooms and participate in age-appropriate activities.
Staff-to-child ratios:
-
Infants under 12 months: 1:2 ratio
