Crossroads Center for Children

Crossroads Center for Children Welcome to our vibrant non-profit school & clinic! We unlock the potential of every child.

Specializing in exceptional education for children with developmental needs, especially autism, we also embrace general education learners in our preschool classes. Crossroads Center for Children opened in Glenville, New York in 1998 as a private non profit school serving a small group of children diagnosed with autism. Today the school is located in Schenectady County and enrolls approximately 12

0 children from 20 school districts in the surrounding eight counties. Additionally, the school now enrolls typically developing students for the integrated daycare program. Integration in preschool and beyond is becoming increasingly common as the advantages for both students with disabilities and their typically developing peers are recognized. Both groups of children benefit from building friendships with people who are unique and this arrangement fosters tolerance and empathy. Both groups learn valuable lessons from critical thinking and social skills instruction, in addition to the quality academic programming.

Crossroads gives a HUGE thank you to Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region for a butterfly-tastic day!! The Bender Scientific Fund granted our students a great opportunity to watch caterpillars turn into butterflies to then release into our flower filled garden. Look at all these happy kids learning and enjoying the magic of nature.

Many children on the spectrum have a natural affinity for water. The sensory aspects of swimming—the soothing feel of water, the calming rhythm of movement—make it an ideal activity for neurodiverse children. However, the statistics are sobering: children on the spectrum are at a much higher risk of drowning than their neurotypical peers. That’s why swim safety and lessons are so essential.
