Maple Star Colorado

Description

Summer time conjures up memories of home-made ice cream, picnics, ball games and watermelon for many of us. Many of our foster children didn't have easy going summers; for many of them, they were living in fear of pending abuse, incidents of domestic violence or neglect due to parents' addictions, depression or poverty. Foster children need the opportunity to build memories. We can do this collectively for them as we provide them activities on a daily and weekly basis. Be sure to include physical activity for all ages--ball tosses, badminton, running through the sprinkler, swinging, hiking and picnics. These activities provide a sense of normalcy for our children while allowing their physical bodies to develop, resulting in growth of their social, emotional, and physical health. Many of the activities you can engage in with your children are free and require no preparation, just a willingness to laugh, move, and be in the moment with your child. Won't you take time each day to create a memory for the children in your home--no matter their age? You will benefit from the fresh air, the activity, and the laughter.

Maple Star began as a child placement agency and subsequently evolved into providing a continuum of care of services. These services are all based on an understanding of trauma and the effects on the brain, emotions, and relationships.
