Break Out - Friday Evenings

Break Out is Access Ministry's fun Friday night respite care program for children with special needs and their siblings age 2-16. Break Out is held twice a month on designated Friday evenings from 6:30-10:00 pm and allows parents a much-needed break. Activities include games and crafts, music, snacks, movies and even a moon bounce! Pediatric nurses are onsite to administer medicines and handle pertinent medical issues. Break Out is staffed by volunteers from McLean Bible Church and the community. The cost for Break Out is $15 for the first child and $5 for each sibling. 

Break Out Basics:

  • To participate in any Access program, each child must have a current family profile and consent form on file.
  • Parents are asked to feed their child(ren) dinner prior to coming to Breakout, due to food allergies and sensitivities.  During the evening a snack is provided, however, if your child has food allergies please bring an appropriate snack from home.
  • Parents need to label all personal belongings with the child's full name (medicines, diaper bag, clothing and food items).
  • Please note Break Out dates are by reservation only. 
  • To make a reservation, or for questions about Break Out contact Aundrea Foster at 703-639-2000, x3832.

  • New families are required obtain a new family packet, fill out paperwork, and attend an intake meeting prior to participating in respite programs. Please contact Mary Hasson, 703-639-2000, x8654, for this information.
