Our Core Values
Empowering families for a brighter tomorrow
A Safe Haven for Special Needs Families
Butterfly Haven is more than just a respite center—it’s a sanctuary designed to support families navigating the unique challenges of raising children with disabilities. Whether you need a safe place for your child while you attend a doctor's appointment, go to work, or simply take a break, our center provides a nurturing and understanding environment. We believe every family deserves peace of mind, knowing their child is in a space where they are valued, supported, and celebrated
A Community That Understands & Advocates
Butterfly Haven is not just a place—it’s a movement. We are building a supportive community of special-needs parents and caregivers who understand the daily struggles and triumphs of raising children with disabilities. Through advocating to the government, workshops, support groups, and employment opportunities for parents, we are creating a space where families don’t just receive help—they become part of a network that lifts each other up.
Healing Through Art & Sensory Play
Our respite center will feature an indoor sensory room and a two-car garage transformed into a fully equipped art studio, providing creative outlets for children and parents alike. Engaging in art and sensory activities is not just therapeutic—it’s a way for children to express themselves and build confidence. At Butterfly Haven, we believe in the power of creativity to heal, connect, and inspire.
Sensory-Friendly Vacations in the Heart of Nature
Traveling as a special-needs family can feel impossible, but at Butterfly Haven, we’re making it accessible. Nestled in the serene forests of Connecticut, our property will feature tiny home rentals designed with sensory-friendly accommodations, allowing families to vacation without the stress of traditional travel. Whether it's enjoying the fresh air, exploring nature trails, or simply having a quiet place to recharge, our space is built for relaxation and inclusion.
