Concerned about kids club

Good job Mama! Being a special needs parent is HARD and after reading through all of this I can see that you 100% wanted to make the best educated decisions for your son and it seems like it worked out really well. I hope you were able to get in a little R&R too, because God knows, SN Mamas need it the most and you do it solo so my hat is off to you.

I think that, unfortunately, the biggest threat/hazard in the kids clubs are not the special needs kids but the little punk kids who are entitled brats running around out of control, pushing, purposely breaking the rules, showing a lack of respect to the CMs, not sharing or not including the other children and speaking with harsh words without any excuse other than a lack of parenting/positive roll models in their lives. Those are the ones that concern me when I leave my daughter.

I am sorry there were so many people that took what you had to say and ran with fear instead of a lack of understanding and trust that you would never purposely leave your child in a situation where he would harm another child.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We both had a fabulous time. The highlight of my trip was definitely having an adult dinner alone! I don't get much time to myself. I do not speak to my parents, I have no siblings, and my sons father has not had any contact since he was 16 months old. So basically it's just been me and my main man for the past 6 years. I didn't even have a sitter I trusted to leave him with until last year. There have been so very rough patches...preschool was the hardest and some days I didn't know how we were going to make it through. But we have and my son has made such vast improvements. Just a couple years ago I never considered leaving him with someone so I could go to the dentist let alone something like this. But we had a great trip and will definitely be planning another one. Thank you again.

I am so happy that you had a great time! Your a strong woman to face these challenges alone and obviously a great mom.

Can someone comment as to how secure the kid club areas are. We are planning a cruise and our one child aged 6 has Autism. Our one concern for him is that he is a flight risk. Are the entrance/exit points gated? We are hesitant to leave him alone and at this time are leaning towards doing only the open house times. However, if he seems keen to stay and functions well during open house times I want to feel confident he'll be kept safe.

They are gated during secure programming and can only be opened to leave by scanning a magic band and then a parent providing the CM a password. During open house times the gates are open. There were always 2 CMs at the gates.
