3E Community Center, Inc.

Each month we offer several group classes for our clients.  These include group karaoke, movie days, activity labs and even field trips in the community.  Check out our calendars to see what's coming up!

At the 3E Community Center, we believe that everyone is precious in God's sight.  Whether a newborn baby, a senior citizen, or a special needs person.  We offer individual classes to special needs adults based on their state ISP goals.  With individual teachers we are able to provide each student with customized learning in areas that they are interested in.

Each week, we teach a class that focuses on learning to become more independent within our individual limits.  For some this may mean being able to cook for ourselves and measure ingredients for recipes properly.  For others, it may be learning to greet people appropriately or introduce ourselves in front of a group before singing our song at karaoke.

At 3E we believe that just because you are developmentaly disabled does not mean that you do not have something to give back to your community.  Each month we have different opportunities that we promote where our clients can get involved and feel like they are making a difference in the world around them. 

Each year, 3E hosts a Special Needs Adult Summer Camp.  During camp, our clients get the opportunity to work with organizations in our community and around the world that help people in need. 

The week of camp, our clients make care packages for people in protective services such as the military, police and firemen, they put together cleaning and hygiene baskets for low income families, they even do yard work at church. 

In addition, they have a traditional camp experience with plenty of crafts and lots of fun. 

This week shows each client that no matter what our abilities we can all make a difference!

The 2nd Friday of the month, we have our group Groovy Activity Lab.  This is typically a fun, messy activity, that will demonstrate basic elementary science or art and generate an atmosphere of curiosity.  Curiosity is something that is generally missing in our clients and we desperately want to encourage them to simply ask why.  Once they ask a question, then they can search for an answer and open themselves up to an entire world of answers.  

This is where we show the impact of heat on crayons to make art projects, show what happens when you combine baking soda and vinegar, have fun with solar paper and lots of other fun and whacky things. Check out our calendar to see our upcoming activities.
