Early Childhood
Ezra Center for People with Disabilities


The Ezra Center is made possible, in part, by a grant from
the J.E. & Z.B. Butler Foundation and Nat & Muriel Glanz

 

If you have any concerns about where your child should be developmentally, the Ezra Center is the best starting point for you. Just a confidential phone call, visit or e-mail can start the learning process for you and your child.


Financial aid is available for all Ezra Center programs. Please call Ann Marie or Marc for more information.
