    CHILDREN SERVICES/PROGRAMS

    FCSN’s children programs provide positive guidance, assistance and encouragement to help students to reach their maximum potential. We believe that all families and individuals can live an active and full life as other members in the community, regardless of disability. Thus, with the “whole child” approach, we address equal importance on the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical development of each unique child.

    The two children’s programs include:

    After School Program – This program provides after school care for children in grades 1 to 12 with disabilities.

    Enrichment Program – This program provides fun learning opportunities that are usually unavailable to children with disabilities.

    
    

    SUMMER PROGRAMS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE (Virtual, East Bay, South Bay)- Please check the website for further information on how to register.

    
    

    FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS

    Please check Respite Services Programs, Family Support Gatherings, and many Family Fun Activities. Families helping families is one of the main goal to FCSN. Feel free to call Parent Consultation Hotline at (408) 725-8000 x206.

    We laugh together, have fun together, and plan our children’s future together. FCSN is a big family. Please join us and let’s grow together.
