About Us
Puzzle Peace Rec & Respite was created to bring awareness of the struggles that parents and siblings of children with diverse needs face on a day-to-day basis.
Puzzle Peace Rec & Respite is a safe place for parents to bring children/teens with an array of diverse needs. Our services encompass everything from developmental delays to behavioral challenges.
Puzzle Peace Rec & Respite is founded by a compassionate person, Kiara Williams, a devoted mother to a 13-year-old child with Autism. This service was born from a heartfelt desire to offer parents and caregivers a well-deserved break.
“When we embrace self-care, we find the strength to be our best selves, allowing us to nurture those we cherish with renewed strength we need to complete day to day tasks.” -Kiara
