'Caring Santa' For Special Needs Children At Menlo Park Mall
The special "Caring Santa" hours are designed so little ones with special needs can meet Santa without the craziness.
EDISON, NJ — The bustle of meeting Santa in the local mall can be difficult for children with special sensory needs. This year, the Menlo Park Mall Santa will be hosting two "Caring Santa" sessions designed to make meeting Santa accessible to all children.
Children can visit with Santa and have their photo taken during the private session. "Menlo Park Mall will make necessary adjustments to the environment to support the sensory, physical and other developmental needs of children of all abilities for this special event," an event description reads.
Two "Caring Santa" sessions will be held: one on Dec. 2 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and the other on Dec. 9 from 8 a.m.to 9:30 a.m. Attendees can preregister for free here.
