It's Freezing Outside!


You might be shivering from your head to your toes, but step inside the doors of St. Ann Center and its warm and balmy, not to mention full of energetic voices and brimming with activity! From the tall palm trees to the warm indoor swimming pool, St. Ann Center is an oasis from the cold!

Each day the atrium at St. Ann Center is alive with activity. The patio tables are filled with clients creating different arts and crafts, strolling through the atrium pathways or quietly sitting and reading a book. You’ll find a mighty game of rummy being played at the patio tables most afternoons!

When it’s cold or rainy outside the children enjoy jumping in the ball pit, sliding down the slide and shooting hoops. There’s room for a rousing game of Duck Duck Goose or the ever exciting parachute game! Many of the adult clients will sit in the atrium and watch the children as they climb, jump and dance. What fun it is to be able to run, play and climb like you’re outside. Even on the coldest or rainiest days it warm and cozy inside.

St. Ann Center is open to the public during the day. If you want to get out of the cold, stroll in the atrium or jump in warm water pool, just come on in!

  1. I come to St Ann Center daily as I am employed here! Talk about warm and never needing a scarf,hat,or mittens. Step inside and you too will be warmed, not only by the activity but the huge smiles. One of my favorite songs is "Hello in There" by John Prine. The children who attend St Ann Center do this everytime they interact with one of our adult clients. Our employees and visitors do this too when they share a hug,slap five,get up and dance or sing with our house musician,Danny. Please come in and say hello in there and warm up!
