Meet our staff. Janine has been with Riverside for 2 years as a Direct Care Worker. She has the opportunity each week to take a group of clients to the fire station where they volunteer their time to help out where needed.

Over the summer, one of our staff members started a lesson with a group of Riverside clients on the life cycle of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. The group learned how to feed both and participated in their care.
They were lucky enough to actually watch a butterfly emerge from it's chrysalis and videotaped the 45 minute process. After all the butterflies were strong enough to fly, they took them to the greenhouse area to be set free. All had a fun time learning and watching the process. The next lesson will be tadpoles.
