Mission

ABC's mission is to offer every child a joyful, beloved life by creating compassionate programs in urgent response to the needs of New York City's most vulnerable families. We envision a world in which all children have a healthy, safe life full of joy, learning, and love in a nurturing family. ABC employs a "whole family" approach, recognizing that a nurturing family and secure parent-child attachment are critical components of early childhood development and positive life trajectories for children, families, and communities. ABC's innovative wraparound services include early childhood education, early intervention, supportive housing, mental health services, pediatric care, family support and preservation, crisis intervention, therapeutic out-of-school and summer day camp programs, and youth services.
