I am a VIP

Buddy Break Information for VIPs

Can I attend more than one location?

YES! Once you have gone through orientation, you are now a part of our Buddy Break network and are able to attend any of the Buddy Break locations, even as we launch into other states.

Do I need to make a reservation for Buddy Break?

Yes, you will need to make a reservation with the location’s Buddy Break Coordinator each time that you would like for your child to attend Buddy Break. That ensures that we have enough Buddies and staff to allow a one-to-one relationship with your child. When spaces are full, you will be put on a waiting list.

Contact a Buddy Break Coordinator NOW to make your reservation for orientation by selecting the Locations & Dates tab.

This program is held in partnership with churches in various locations across the nation. See the link below for exact locations and dates. New locations will be added to this website as they are started.

I’ve never left my child! How will you take care of him/her?

Our Buddy Break teams are trained to recognize your child’s uniqueness and want to be prepared to offer them the best care and friendship. Because of this, you are required to attend a mandatory orientation before you are able to begin utilizing the Buddy Break program. At the orientation you will be introduced to the program more fully, give us a chance to meet your VIP, and provide us with information that will help us to care for your child. Please remember to fill out the information forms prior to orientation, you can access them in two ways:

1. To fill out your forms in our secure, online database, click here.
2. To download and print the forms in PDF format, click here (or on the left menu button that says “VIP & Sibling Forms”). If you choose this option, be sure to bring them with you to orientation.

Remember to tell others about Buddy Break!
