We may be skipping the party this year…

 … but thanks to your gift, the real party happens every day at KCC!

Since 1958, Kennedy Children's Center has had a life-changing impact on children with disabilities, their families, and the communities where they live.

We normally celebrate our important work and our donor community with a spring benefit. While we're not quite ready to return to in-person events, the real party is happening every day at KCC! Make your gift today and help:

  • Educate preschoolers with the most significant disabilities in the New York City public school system;

  • Support hard-working families in some of the most challenging neighborhoods in New York City;

  • Cultivate a new generation of educators to combat the teacher shortage crisis in early childhood special education through our Grow Your Own training program;

  • And more!

With your help, KCC is making a difference for hundreds of preschoolers with disabilities, their families, and the field of early childhood special education across New York City. Donate today, and party in your own way!

In their own words: Grow Your Own at KCC

We talked to past and present Grow Your Own participants about how the program has enabled them to do what they love: working with young children as certified teacher assistants and teachers.
