Exceptional Kids was founded by Ken and Kim Ziel, parents of a son with highly-involved physical and developmental disabilities. They saw the need for inclusive spaces where children with disabilities and their families could come together, connect, and celebrate community. What began as a monthly kids’ club eventually inspired the creation of a day program that grew into HighPointe Services.
Launched in 2004, the Exceptional Kids Club ran for 10 years in Aurora, Centennial, and Colorado Springs, serving nearly 500 children. Today, with our beautiful new Centennial facility, we are excited to relaunch in September 2025. Exceptional Kids continues with the same heart and vision: to provide a joyful, safe, and welcoming place where kids and families can play, learn, and belong.
