Hi Friend,

At EKC, we’re not JUST about play.

We provide a refuge from a world that too often misunderstands neurodivergent youth and their families. Our inclusive, creative, play-based environments invite young people to participate in activities that celebrate their individuality, not diminish it…

…and have fun together!
