    • Noah is nearly independent in dressing and toileting and so much more. Hope is priceless and what others took away from us in an already devastating situation, Crossroads Center for Children teachers and administrators gave back two-fold.

      The Thompson Family

    • Crossroads has the most exceptional, caring, committed staff I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of knowing. I will always hold Crossroads staff in a very special place in my heart and I know “C” will never forget.

      Marion Harris

    • The wrap-around daycare is what we really needed to accommodate childcare and have reliable care while we were at work. It was highly recommended by friends of ours.

      Kim Woodrow

    • Our district recommended you and we were interested in ABA. Because of his diagnosis of autism, we needed a place for pre-K that could help with his needs. The communication with staff was great. All the therapies and special ed. really helped him gain so much. The entire staff was awesome and we couldn’t be happier. From touring to helping with questions and concerns, ‘A’ couldn’t have made so much progress without you guys.

      Kim Marinucci

    • I took a tour and knew it was for “C”. I enrolled him because of the ABA and watching staff work with the children. I knew I had no worries leaving “C” with this program. I want to thank all of the staff for all the help they have given to “C” and me. The time that “C” was here has made all the difference in the world to him and me.

      Marion Harris

    • He’s now in high school and doing well and all the parent training, support, and amazing staff are the reasons he’s where he is today.

      Sari Medick

    • Crossroads has been a lifeline for “C” and me. Always willing to help and coming up with a plan. They go above and beyond the norm.

      Marion Harris

    • Daily communication was wonderful! The healthy food program is a great idea!!

      Kim Woodrow

    • Crossroads Center for Children is amazing! The staff and programs are so fantastic! I don’t know where my little girl would be without them. She has come so far it is simply amazing!

      Jennifer Glover

    • All three of my children attended Crossroads. Without their exceptional staff and therapists my girls wouldn’t have had the strong educational foundation to lead them into grade school and beyond. Not only an education, but life skills, coping mechanisms, speech therapy, and an opportunity to see and embrace the differences in their peer groups. Thank you for helping me to give my kids a well rounded education and lifelong friends💜💜

      Elaine Taylor

    • My son attended Crossroads many years ago. He ended up graduating high school and then college. The staff at Crossroads taught him and us so many things on how to bring him back into our world. He will always be a little different but he has the skills to support himself and make friends. We are eternally grateful.
