About Us

The Child Center of NY reaches out across diverse ethnic populations to create a supportive, caring place for children and families at risk. For nearly 60 years we have been a powerful presence in the community—transforming outcomes of lives in the margins.

Our more than 70 programs empower children to make good decisions… establish places of safety…help parents build skills to become better providers and nurturers…and make connections to the community through Early Childhood Education, Individual and Family Counseling, Child Abuse Prevention, and Youth Development. All of our programs—from daycare to crisis intervention—promote emotional wellness and secure attachments to parents and other adult caregivers.



Each dollar you give goes directly to help children at risk in New York.
