Why Celebrate the Children?


More children are being diagnosed now than in previous years.  We are gaining a better understanding of the foundations of these disorders and how they manifest developmental delays/differences.  Because more children now receive early intervention, there has been an increase in the number of children who require less traditional, special education programs that meet them at their individual developmental level.  We know that there is no end to what these children can achieve.  We also know that one approach does not work for every child, Professionals and Parents need options!

Celebrate the Children (CTC) has been providing services for children with difficulties in relating, communicating and thinking since 1995.  Celebrate the Children is a progressive program based on the Developmental Individual Relationship Based (DIR®) Intervention Model developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan and Dr. Serena Wieder.  This New Jersey state-approved comprehensive school program uses a dynamic inter-disciplinary approach that prepares students ages 3-21 for success in the 21st Century.

Our multi-disciplinary approach to education recognizes that emotionally meaningful experiences are necessary in order to realize the child’s true intelligence.

Our Program Includes

  • Cutting-edge, research-based intervention targeting the specific sensory integration, motor and visual-spatial challenges of the individual students 
  • All intervention and instruction is provided via an interdisciplinary approach promoting social interactions, communicating and thinking
  • Intensive focus on building self-esteem and developing healthy relationships
  • Independence and life-skills program
  • Transition Program, Community-Based Instruction, Adult & Continuing Education
  • Art, Music, Yoga, and more including organized, school-wide events
  • Family involvement & education includes DIR® education and coaching for parents, facilitated play sessions with siblings, and support groups for both parents and siblings.  The goal of this service is to empower family members to be able to facilitate their child’s development while promoting healthy relationships.
