LITTLE CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) – The Fox Valley officially has a new day care for people with special needs.
A Very Special Place opened Tuesday in the same Little Chute location as the former Haven of Hope, which closed abruptly back in August.
The new facility will provide care for people with physical, intellectual, behavioral and developmental disabilities.
After Haven of Hope shut its doors, parents in need of a place to send their children decided to come together and open a new facility.
“It’s amazing what we’ve been able to accomplish in just a couple of months,” says Executive Director Lorraine Yarbrough. “So many people have pitched in, by volunteering, raising money and donating supplies and equipment.”
The Nicolet Bank Foundation has also announced a $25,000 grant for A Very Special Place.
“A Very Special Place is the kind of organization we are glad to support, since they perform such a vital function,” said Nicolet VP Jeff Gahnz.
It’s located at 1000 W. Main Street, and will provide both daycare and respite services, with plans to offer residential services beginning in March.
