Hudson Milestones

Children and Family Services

Hudson Milestones' Children and Family Services Department provides numerous services to families' children who are developmentally disabled and under the age of three. These services include the following:

Child Development Center

The Child Development Center is located in Jersey City. Forty-eight children, under the age of three, with a diagnosis of a developmental disability or developmental delay receive services on a daily basis Monday -Friday.

Each day includes free door-to-door transportation for those living in our limited catchment area, free meals and snacks, and an ever-changing array of sensory and play experiences which are developmentally appropriate for toddlers.

Each trained staff person is responsible for supervising no more than four children. Supervisory level staff oversee activities and help with parent support. Parent participation days are offered to provide added enrichment and information for families.

In-Home Respite Services

Over forty families in Hudson County receive in-home respite care each week. Specially trained providers care for individuals with developmental disabilities through activities which best suit their specific needs and preferences.

Respite providers give support in the areas of self-help, practical skills and community integration. Social recreational activities are a top priority. All of those enrolled in this program are referred by the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities.

After School Program

Hudson Milestones After School Program in Bayonne provides care after regular school hours for up to twelve children from special education programs between the ages of 5 and 13 years old.
