This is a developmental, communication based
parent/child program for intellegent preschool children
ages 3-5 with developmental problems, including communication and learning disorders, ADD, high functioning autism, PDD and Asperger’s syndrome. Most children
are referred to the Therapeutic Nursery because they
are experiencing delayed language acquisition. Children
who fail to acquire age-appropriate language may also
exhibit social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties that
can impede their ability to interact appropriately with
other children and adults. Early identification and timely
intervention are essential for promoting optimal growth
in children with developmental delays. Approved NJDOE
private preschool for the handicapped and receiving
school for many school districts. For more information,
