Hawthorn opens three times a week. 6 families attend on each of the three days. The centre opens for families who have children aged 0-3 years with a learning disability. Parents and carers stay on site with their child and have the use of a designated room which they can use to socialise, offer each other support etc.
The children have the use of a playroom which is supervised by 3 qualified staff. The playroom uses "Birth to Three Matters" as a framework for planning. Hawthorn also offers Portage (home-visiting educational service for pre-school children with additional support needs) to 7 families.
The centre runs every Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
