Daily Living Program: Building Independence, One Skill at a Time

The Daily Living Program at the Vocational Training Centre is where everyday moments become powerful learning opportunities. Designed to support independence, confidence, and self-reliance, this program focuses on the practical life skills participants use both at home and in the community.

Through hands-on activities, participants learn essential daily living skills such as personal care routines, meal planning and preparation, kitchen safety, cleaning and organization, money awareness, time management, and personal responsibility. These skills are taught at each individual’s pace, with encouragement, patience, and support every step of the way.

Beyond the tasks themselves, the Daily Living Program helps participants build confidence in decision-making, problem-solving, and self-advocacy. Participants practice working independently as well as collaboratively, learning how to navigate routines, follow schedules, and take pride in caring for themselves and their surroundings.

Just as important is the environment in which this learning takes place. The program is delivered in a warm, home-like setting where participants feel safe, valued, and supported. Staff work closely with each individual, recognizing strengths, celebrating progress, and fostering growth in a way that feels meaningful and empowering.

The Daily Living Program is about more than learning how to do things — it’s about learning to believe in oneself. Every skill mastered, every routine completed, and every small success helps participants move toward greater independence and a fuller, more confident life.

At the Vocational Training Centre, the Daily Living Program is where potential truly blooms — in everyday moments that make a lasting difference.
