Mary Cariola Children's Center provides the highest quality individualized services for children with developmental delays and especially for those with complex or multiple disabilities.

Description:
Children who range in age from birth to 21 receive individually prescribed educational and therapeutic programs at one of our three school locations or one of our five residences in the Monroe County area. Mary Cariola Children's Center is recognized statewide for its innovative programs designed to expand the learning opportunities and enrich the lives of children with developmental delays. Dedicated and caring staff, families and volunteers, reflecting the diversity of our community, work to ensure that the best services are available to all children.

History:
The Mary Cariola Children's Center was founded in 1949 by Mrs. Mary A. Cariola and the parents and friends of children with severe and multiple handicapping conditions. In 1952 The Day Care Training Center for Handicapping Children was incorporated as a not-for-profit agency. In 1977, a new Certificate of Incorporation expanded to include residential services and the agency name became the Mary Cariola Children's Center, in honor of its founder. Mary Cariola's determination and drive to find an appropriate educational setting for her nephew, "Butchie", continues to inspire our staff today as we aim to provide unique and individualized services for all the children.
