Description: Kennedy Child Study Center’s (KCSC’s) mission is to assist children who experience significant delays in learning and other areas of early childhood development.
We accomplish this mission by:
- Providing evaluation and diagnosis, comprehensive therapy, and high-quality preschool education to young children with delays in learning and other areas of development;
- Advancing the holistic well-being of the families we serve through family support, including Medicaid service coordination, respite services, and information on healthy living and accessing community resources;
- Advocating for public policies that benefit young children with developmental delays, and developing programs to meet the changing needs of our families; and,
- Reinforcing best practices in early childhood special education through ongoing professional development for educators, therapists, and others working in the field.
KCSC is an affiliated agency of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. We are approved and funded by:
- New York State Education Department (NYSED) as a Special Education Preschool.
- New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) as a Day Care provider.
- New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) as a provider of Medicaid Service Coordination and Respite Services.
Kennedy Child Study Center is incorporated in New York State and is registered as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with the IRS.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Im being generous with the 3 star rating. My son has never been so sick .... ever....since attending this school. He was in 3k with many other children, in person, beginning of COVID, and didnt get sick once. The entire year! The school, knowing not all children wear their masks, should be constantly aware and maintaining distance and cleanliness. They do not! Children here are 3 and 4 years old they need to be cared for by the adults. They are not! My child comes home with permanent paint on his hands and it takes weeks to get it off! You would think they would use paints for little ones that are water based....they do not! The school busses is a whole other nightmare. If I could choose again I would not choose this school for my baby and wish I had reviews that I could have seen before choosing. Try Birch.
The school staff are judgmental of the parents and are just there for money and not for the love of these kids. I can count with my hands and he few that I could tell do the job because they love the kids
