Tufts Activity Center

Tufts Activity Center For too long children with special needs have been lacking a place to play, learn and grow. This is particularly true here in Oxford Hills, Maine.

Soon that will be a thing of the past. Tufts Activity Center will be the first ever center built with the needs of those with special needs in mind. Bright colors, sound proof walls and plenty of open spaces will provide a comfortable inviting place to play and learn. Some of our features will include:
• A large play room with slides, swings, a ball pit, and plenty of room to run, bounce and jump.


• Our craft room will help improve fine motor skills. Projects such as planting seeds, drawing, playing with beads and putting together puzzles will be available at all times.
• For those music lovers who just have to get the wiggles out, there will be a dance room. This room with be specially set up with visual cues for those who have a hard time respecting personal space. Classes will also be held in this room such as; yoga, hula hooping and step aerobics.
• A roomy library will be filled with reading material for all ages. Some of the materials available will be social stories, picture books, word and letter recognition, stories by Maine authors and books in braille.
• A swimming pool will be available for water therapy. The pool with be handicap accessible and special water wheel chairs will be available on site.
• A special room will have large cushy mats on the floor, music or sounds playing and video projected on the ceiling. It will be the perfect place to lay and relax.
• Therapy horseback riding will be available on site by apt. This Center will not only service the Oxford Hills area but will be available to any of the surrounding counties as well and anyone who wishes to travel farther for a day of fun and play.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone had a safe day and I hope the rest of vacation goes smoothly. What was your favorite moment of the day? The first thing I heard out of my son's mouth this morning when I woke him up was "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night." Then he put his head back down and tried to go back to sleep.
