We are approved by the New York State Office of Education of Children with Disabling Conditions and the New York State Health Department. The Children's Annex serves children between the ages of 2 and 15. A student may be classified as a preschooler with a disability, or when school age, as emotionally disturbed, autistic, multiply disabled or traumatic brain injured.
Many students also have learning disabilities and communication needs.
There is a wide range of intellectual ability and severity of need. Center-based Children's Annex programs are located in Kingston and Ellenville, New York. In Kingston, our 22,400 square foot facility is on seven acres of land in a beautiful, rural setting. In Ellenville, our 6,400 square foot Special Education and Childcare Center is located in the heart of town, providing easy access to community resources. Since its inception in 1976, The Children's Annex has served as a model special education program.
