East Side Day Academy has been serving children and adults with disabilities since 2015. We operate a day program, provide drop-in services, family supports and provide 24/7 care for some folks. As a small, privately owned business, our approach is family-oriented. The people we serve are family. Our amazing staff are family. The families we serve are family.
We've been recognized by Hamilton County DDS as a partner in Integration Services. We've been recognized by Department of Ohio Disabilities as being a leader in innovative integrative services. In 2019, Clermont County recognized us as "Provider of the Year." We believe EVERYONE has a place in the community!
Our top value is LOVE, which we believe everyone is worthy of and everyone deserves. Love extends in all directions- to the people we serve, to our staff people, to the families we help. Another value is QUALITY. We chose to provide GREAT supports for the people we serve. Another value is EQUALITY. We firmly believe we are all in this as equals and our effort is a group effort. Without great staff, amazing families, strong community partners, or the gifts individuals bring, our efforts would be for nothing.
