https://www.gecbklyn.org/GEC’s early childhood offerings include a free, full-day Pre-K for All program for 3- and 4-year-olds, staffed by NYS-certified dual early childhood and special education teachers. The Carrie Mastronardi Early Childhood Education Center further supports preschoolers with disabilities through clinical and educational therapies in multiple languages—helping children develop essential language, social, and cognitive skills.
GEC provides residential services in private homes set in welcoming Southwest Brooklyn communities. These residences are designed to be safe, comfortable, and fully integrated—with access to transit, everyday amenities, parks, and places of worship—so that adults and seniors with disabilities can enjoy dignified, community-based living.
For participants aged 21 and up, GEC’s day habilitation programs deliver person-centred supports across all life stages. These services aim to enhance independence, community integration, self-advocacy, and practical life skills—empowering individuals to pursue fulfilling, autonomous lives.
GEC’s arts and recreation programming invites day habilitation participants to explore their creative potential through workshops, classes, and hands-on activities—from drumming and meditation to art-making and gardening. This encourages self-expression, inner peace, and personal discovery through enriching experiences.
