Please see our Calendar of Programs for program specifics. For more information, please contact our Director of Children and Family Services at 20, Ext. An assessment of your child’s strengths and needs will be completed and a group best suited for your child will be recommended. Prior to registration, an intake interview is required. Groups are designed to elicit and support the strengths and needs of children with varying levels of skills in the areas of independence, verbal communication and are grouped by age and ability. Groups provide opportunities for children to learn social skills through age appropriate activities and are facilitated by experienced staff with volunteer support. These small group programs are for children, teens and young adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder or other special needs whose social, communication and behavioral skills require direction and support, but do not require intensive behavioral and/or physical intervention. Be prepared to be asked about attendance 4-5x a day in case the first few requests were wrong.īeware, when it rains or snows because the building is falling apart therefore leaving rooms, passageways and hallways to leak.Current Programs & Services include: Social Activity Programs You are on your own with everything including training to prepare reports. As a teacher, you will stand on your head waiting for instructional materials to use with your students. When i was there, many parents opted to send children elsewhere due to educational director's power trip and big mouth.Ĭlassroom staff members can't get to work on time and wait by athe timeclock at 255 to clock out by 3pm to clock out there is misery written on the faces of everyone you see. Inexperienced and unprofessional people are in management simple because of 'who they know'.
All you hear is 'we'll try to get you coverage'.
There is a serious safety risk involved in a room with 2 adults when there should be 3-4 adults in the room. The Bronx location is very understaffed and administration doesn't seem to care. Maybe it's time that senior management does a top to bottom investigation to find out what's going on and who's funneling money.
There is no appreciation for staff and the pay doesnt take into consideration how much experience you have or how hard of a worker you are. There are very high turnover rates with staff in all departments. The school is located within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. There are a school nurse and a social worker on staff as well. All precautions are taken to ensure that the children are not served any food that may cause allergic reactions. The kitchen staff is attentive to the needs of each child as an individual. Hot lunches are served for Breakfast and Lunch in the classrooms. The staff and children have Zumba and Yoga classes to help them stay in shape and to relax. We have an open door policy which allows parents to come in and visit the classroom at any time. Open communication and with parents is encouraged. Each teacher is given good support with the help of 2 assistant teachers in each classroom. They are always on call for any problems that you may encounter. The administration goes out of their way to help new staff members adapt to the environment. The staff is friendly and the children and teachers have access to many caring therapists. The school has so much beautiful artwork made by the children which are displayed everywhere you go. Unfortunately, I developed a physical disability which forced me to take a medical leave. I really enjoyed working for Kennedy Child Study Center.
