Our Adult Day Program offers a supportive, inclusive, and engaging environment where participants can build independence, develop new skills, and connect with their community. Each day includes a variety of activities designed to promote personal growth, health, and social connection.

    • Skill & Independence Building – Develop practical life skills such as money management, cooking, travel, and daily decision-making.
    • Health & Wellness – Stay active and build healthy habits that support long-term well-being.
    • Community & Purpose – Connect through volunteer and work placements that foster belonging and meaningful contribution.
    • Friendship & Social Connection – Build relationships and enjoy shared experiences with peers.
    • Personal Growth & Enrichment – Explore new interests through flexible programming, education, outings, and creative recreation.

    Our goal is to empower each participant to reach their potential while feeling supported, included, and connected.

Day Program Streams

We are proud to offer two streams within our Adult Day Program, designed to meet participants where they are and support their growth over time. Both streams are built on the foundation of community, belonging, and personal growth ensuring every participant has the opportunity to succeed at their own pace.

  • 2-Day Stream
    5-Year Program

    The 2-day stream focuses on building independence and connections right here within the Variety Village community. Participants engage in skill-building activities, recreational opportunities, and community experiences on site, helping them feel supported while gaining confidence in a familiar environment. This program follows a 5-year pathway, allowing participants to learn, grow, and thrive at a comfortable pace.

    • Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00–3:30pm

  • 3-Day Stream
    3-Year Program

    The 3-day stream offers a more intensive experience, with a strong focus on independent life skills and active community involvement. Participants take part in work and volunteer placements, building real-world skills while fostering independence and responsibility. This 3-year program is designed for individuals ready to take the next step toward independence and engagement beyond Variety Village.
