Bakery

Welcome to La Castellana’s Bakery! Every purchased pastry elevates the dignity of our community through offering work opportunity. The Bakery is a work program of SCTP where our members with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities learn work skills to be able to find employment in the community. They learn trade skills to prepare ingredients, roll different kinds of dough, and shape each unique pastry. In addition, they practice other work skills by marketing baked goods to local businesses and private homes. To prepare them for a job in the community, we also work on building communication skills, planning ahead, and using their time wisely. They face other physical and intellectual challenges, such as needing repeated instructions, some sign language, making goals for improving skills, and emotional support when they’re having a hard day.
