Work Based Learning Program for Individuals with Different Abilities

School is starting Aug 17, 2022 and we are excited to meet and welcome "New" students from CCISD H.E.A.R.T.S (Helping Each Adult Reach Transitional Services).

What is (HEARTS)?

Helping Each Adult Reach Transition Services (HEARTS) 

HEARTS is provided for any adult student who has completed state credits and assessment but did not meet graduation criteria for employment, employability skills, or agency connection.   HEARTS is a non-traditional service model where students receive transition services both on campus and in the community. Students do not follow the bell schedule at their campus nor do they attend elective or other courses for required credit. The goal is to move services from the campus into the community. Students receive instruction directly in the community-based environment where they will be using their skills as an adult upon completion of high school.   

Adult Community Education Services (ACES) 

ACES represents the best practice, research based model for 18+ services. The focus of ACES is on instruction completely in the community as directed by the student’s adult schedule, post-secondary goals, sustainability, and transition-based IEP goals.

Work Based Learning Program

Stay Fresh with Peanut is excited to announce we have developed a work-based learning program supporting individuals with diverse abilities. The level and type of support is based upon individual need but most of the time we work together in a group setting with the support of staff, teachers, or caregivers for the individual to be successful. The program includes supervised social interaction, and inclusive business operations in a safe, friendly, and supportive environment.

We are honored and blessed to have a facility to accommodate these special individuals to highlight their Abilities not Disabilities, enabling them to reach their full potential.

Our Story

We started during Covid May 2020 to provide employment and life skills for our son Peanut little did we know God had bigger plans for all of us. We quickly grew so we made the decision to step out in faith, leave behind our jobs and become a full-time family owned & operated business. At the end of 2021 we moved into our first location then at the beginning of Jan 2022 we welcomed our first students from CCISD H.E.A.R.T.S (Helping Each Adult Reach Transitional Services) program.

Our Mission is to empower individuals with diverse abilities to develop life skills, vocational training, and positive social interaction.

With your continued support we look forward to expanding our program to more individuals in the future. If you have any questions about our program feel free to reach out to us directly at support@stayfreshwithpeanut.com. #LivelikePeanut
