Children's Educational Services
Helping Every Child Learn, Grow & Thrive
At Children’s Educational Services, Inc. (CES), we believe that every child deserves the support they need to reach their fullest potential—starting from the earliest years of life. We offer a range of services for children ages birth to five years old, with a special focus upon early childhood development.
Whether you're a parent seeking the right start for your child, a caregiver in need of resources, or someone looking for inclusive, compassionate support, we're here for you.

Our Programs
Get Started
If you’re concerned about your child’s development, follow the steps below to request a state-funded developmental evaluation. For more details on how to begin the evaluation process and enroll in our special education programs, explore our resource page.
01
Request a Developmental Evaluation
For children under 3, contact your county's Department of Health. For children ages 3 to 5, reach out to your local Committee on Preschool Special Education.
02
Receive a Comprehensive Assessment
Once referred, a team of specialists will assess your child’s strengths and needs to determine eligibility for services under New York State guidelines.
03
Develop an IFSP or IEP Plan
Children under 3 may be found eligible for an Individualized Family Service Plan. Children ages 3 to 5 may be found eligible for an Individualized Education Program.
04
Start Services and Support
If your child qualifies, services are provided at no direct cost to your family and are funded through federal, state, and local programs. These supports are tailored to your child’s needs.
