The Children’s Center provides comprehensive mental health care to enhance the emotional well-being of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families. Volunteers are needed for childcare services for siblings of children attending our autism social skills after school groups. You will work with one of our teachers to babysit 9 children ranging from 1-8 years old. Groups are held on Tuesdays from 5:15-6:30 PM and run for 10 weeks starting 9/29. It is preferred that volunteers commit to be there through the 10 weeks.

The Childrens Center, located in Salt Lake and Kearns, provides mental health care for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families. A clinical staff evaluates the needs of the family and they receive services on a sliding fee scale.
There are two volunteers assigned to a class of eight children. Volunteers usually attend one session a week but are encouraged to come as frequently as theyd like. They provide entertainment, play games, do arts and crafts, and read with the children of the preschool.
I first started just working in child care twice a week. It was so much fun to just play with the kids.Then I moved on to working in therapeutic preschool and I felt as if I had advanced in a level at the center. I work in a preschool class of ten boys with two teachers and it's always pretty intense, exciting and especially gratifying. - Janey Lyon, Salt Lake City, Utah
