Our amazing team of staff and volunteers are committed to creating an environment to support families of children with special needs.

Mrs Sarah Manne- longtime preschool Morah, Sarah brings her passion for social emotional education to The Clubhouse.

Rabbi Dovi Block- a beloved mechanech, Rabbi Block joined our team in an effort to address the needs of the young men in our community with special needs.  He has already galvanized a cadre of volunteers who devote hours of their time interacting with young men, creating leaders of our future.

Hadassah Rubanowitz - Hadassah is a powerhouse! She is a gifted educator and is able to enter the world of the child, soothe their fears and help them reach new heights every day.  Hadassa works with our participants both at The Clubhouse and in their homes.

Starting out as a Sunday and Thursday respite program - run out of borrowed space on a shoestring budget, we were completely overwhelmed by the gratitude and appreciation our programs garnered.

Since our opening on September 13th 2020, we have provided respite to over 40 families, thus enabling parents to focus their attention on self care and/or the other children in the family.  It is incredible to see how far a little support and respite can go. We are now available for parents five days a week and are looking forward to continuing to provide quality services and support to families who need it most. We look forward to connecting with and providing total and complete acceptance with our very special participants.
