You shouldn't have to navigate this journey alone. We're here to help.

Need to run errands? Overwhelmed by the birth of a new sibling? Need to attend a family celebration? Whatever the reason, we'll lovingly care for your child any time, day or night, weekdays and weekends—even holidays!
Our respite services provide a safe and supportive environment where children with special needs can relax, have fun, and be showered with love and attention while their caregivers receive a much-needed break.
A child's preschool and elementary school years are crucial for laying the foundations of character, responsibility, and healthy self-esteem. Our warm, professional learning environment is lovingly designed for preschool through elementary school-aged students with intellectual and cognitive disabilities, physical deficits, or developmental disorders.
We believe that learning should be fun and engaging, and our teachers work tirelessly to create a dynamic program that meets the individual needs of every student, helping them reach their potential and thrive as productive, confident, and independent members of the community.
We understand that circumstances can sometimes make it difficult or even impossible for children or adults with disabilities to stay at home, despite the best efforts of their loved ones.
We believe that everyone deserves to have a comfortable place to call home—where they feel safe, supported, and cared for. As the only residential program in NJ offering kosher food and an environment imbued with Jewish culture and values, The Center is here for any special child or adult who needs a loving home where they can feel safe, cared for, and independent.
At The Center, we believe that every adult with a disability deserves to feel productive, valued, and fulfilled. Whether through individualized vocational training, life skills development, or community involvement, we're here to support our clients' journeys towards fulfillment and purpose.
Our adult services are designed to empower each individual to gain a sense of responsibility, contribute to their communities, and realize their innate self-worth. We prioritize the unique needs and interests of every special-needs adult, providing them with the skills and resources they need to succeed in both their careers and daily lives.
You already have so much on your plate. From paperwork to appointment scheduling to advocating for the best care, we're here to take care of anything and everything that you and your family need to live your best lives.
Case management can play a vital role in ensuring your child receives the care and support necessary to thrive. We'll connect you with a dedicated case manager, get to know you, understand your needs, and advocate for you every step of the way.
At The Center Farm, we harness the transformative power of nature and hands-on learning for children and teenagers with special needs. Nestled on a breathtaking 30-acre property, our farm is a dynamic classroom where education comes to life among the fields, animals, and the rhythm of the seasons.
Struggling in a traditional educational setting? Searching for an experience that nurtures confidence, responsibility, and achievement? The Center Farm introduces an innovative agricultural curriculum, integrating academic objectives with farm work. Math and reading come alive through tasks like counting eggs, feeding goats, and managing crops—fostering independence and a love for learning in a way that traditional classrooms often can't.
