Spring Hill hosts inclusive Breakfast with Santa for all abilities

Tender Care PPEC in Spring Hill will host an Inclusive Breakfast with Santa on December 14, 2025, bringing a holiday program designed for children and families of all abilities. The event will offer a sensory friendly environment, a holiday breakfast, quiet photo opportunities with Santa, and activities specifically tailored for children with medical complexities or sensory sensitivities. Attendance is free, though organizers request a $3 donation per person to help cover meal costs, and RSVPs and ticketing information are available through Eventbrite.

The program targets families who often face barriers at traditional holiday events because of loud environments, crowded spaces, and unstructured activities. By adjusting lighting, sound levels, and scheduling quieter photo sessions, Tender Care PPEC aims to reduce those barriers and create a more welcoming experience. For local parents and caregivers, the format can lower the logistical and emotional costs of holiday outings, allowing more families to participate without facing overstimulation or medical risks.

Economically, the modest donation model keeps the event accessible while offsetting direct meal expenses. At a community level, low cost access to inclusive programming can reduce out of pocket spending for families who otherwise might hire specialized support or forgo public events. Using Eventbrite for ticketing helps organizers estimate attendance and plan food and staffing needs, which reduces waste and improves cost management for community nonprofits.

The event also reflects larger service trends in Hernando County and beyond, where demand for accessible programming has been rising as awareness of sensory needs grows. Local policy makers and service providers can view events like this as models for inclusive community engagement, and as opportunities to coordinate supports for families with complex medical needs. For residents planning to attend, organizers recommend reserving spots through Eventbrite so Tender Care PPEC can accommodate the quieter photo sessions and tailored activities that make this event accessible.
