A Brooklyn Day Program Built for Young Adults
When school ends at 21, families face a question nobody prepares them for: what comes next? Chemlu's new day program at 4202 Glenwood Rd, Brooklyn is built for exactly that moment — structured, engaging days for young adults with developmental disabilities transitioning out of the school system, designed alongside the people who know Brooklyn's I/DD community best.
What We're Building
Structured Daily Programming
Routines that build confidence, purpose, and stability — a real answer to the post-school cliff.
Community Integration
Real-world outings, local partnerships, and a meaningful presence in the neighborhood — not a room with four walls.
Life Skills & Vocational Readiness
Practical skills for daily living and a gradual, supported introduction to work — matched to each person's goals.
Experienced, Caring Staff
Trained professionals backed by twenty years of Chemlu experience. Person-centered care — always.
Transportation coordination is available where possible — families across NYC are welcome to ask.

We're welcoming families for tours and building our interest list now.
