Early childhood special education services in Long Island, New York

VCLC is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization which provides special education and therapeutic related services to young children with developmental disabilities, including autism and support services to their families. Except for a few after school programs, services are provided at no cost to families.

Support from our friends, community members and families help to enrich Variety's unique and exceptional learning environment. Past fundraising efforts have enabled us to expand playgrounds, install a state-of-the-art computer center, build libraries for both families and children, provide innovative training programs and expand our facilities. These projects could not have been accomplished without our generous supporters.
