Overview
Need some down time? The Cove has you covered. Low lighting, soft furniture, and calming colors create a sense of peace and relaxation throughout, which will be especially appealing to children (and adults) with sensory needs. All elements are created following trauma-informed inclusive design standards, creating a space for pausing, connecting, and bonding as a family.
