With a warm atmosphere, we strive to stimulate opportunities of growth for your child while respecting and allowing their individual interests, strengths, challenges and goals to be supported and progress.

I’m Cosette Francesca Witchell, founder and director of Kindred Moon Respite Care. My journey teaching kids on the autism spectrum began six years ago when I became a Behavior Technician providing ABA therapy with a well-known autism mental health center here in Northeast Wisconsin. I love to explore to understand how children with autism view the world around them. I believe in creating space for neurodiverse children and the behavioral symptoms that some would consider unruly, but for the child may be regulatory, helping them navigate their world and explore nature's inter-workings.

With six years specializing in autism spectrum disorder and nine years in childcare, I believe providing a fun, calm, structured, and disciplined environment results in a well-balanced respite and childcare experience.

I curated Kindred Moon with my young niece in mind who was diagnosed with autism when she was just four years old. After my time ended at an autism daycare center, it occurred to me that I could open my expertise to others that could benefit from these services.
