Partial Hospital Program
 The Program Schedule
Reflection Time
This is a brief period in the morning that is used by each child
in ways that will best fill his or her needs for self-expression.
For some children that will be in artwork, for others writing
out thoughts, feelings or an account of the day, and others will
particpate in physical exercise. Milieu therapists will explore
the best use of reflection time with your child daily.
Afternoon Activites
As the day begins to wind down at HCPHP, it’s time for fun
and recreation. The milieu therapists plan a variety of age appropriate
activities: from arts and crafts to outdoor activities in good
weather. Tuesdays are Cultural Arts days, featuring invited artists
and performers from the community. Fridays are Movie Days. We
play group games or have special events like talent shows or fashion
shows. The goal of afternoon activities is to encourage the children
to relax and enjoy interacting with their peers.
Daily Schedule: Monday through Friday
Medical evaluations, treatments and diagnostic tests always have first
priority over general activities.
First and Last Day
On a child’s first day in the program, we will ask parents
to plan to spend several hours helping us learn as much as possible
about the child and your family. Likewise, on the last program
day, we will ask parents to spend extra time to help us evaluate
how the program has contributed to the child’s life. More
about the program evaluation.
