Our Mission

The Tiegerman mission of “teaching the extraordinary” reflects the organization’s goal to substantively transform the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities from preschool throughout adulthood by means of the Tiegerman Learning Method. We are committed to providing an enduring opportunity for exceptional instruction, education and support to ensure that the children and adults that we serve achieve their potential in life. We believe that each individual is extraordinary and through our extraordinary efforts they will achieve a more independent and successful future.

Educational Programs & Community Services

Child Care and UPK

Our A.L.L. for Kids Child Care is for children 33 months to 5 years old. We ensure that children are engaged in meaningful and appropriate learning activities that set a solid foundation for learning. Tiegerman's UPK program provides educational programming that prepares children for kindergarten success. Our UPK instruction is aligned with the NYS Prekindergarten Foundation for the Common Core.

Tiegerman Schools

Tiegerman's School Programs focus on providing language-based learning for students to establish the foundation for their educational and social development and prepare them for a world filled with words, sentences, stories and messages. We focus on the relationship between language development and academic success, providing intensive language immersion and academic instruction for students with language and autism spectrum disorders.

Tiegerman Community Services (TCS)

Tiegerman Community Services (TCS) is a part of the Tiegerman family of programs. It was established to meet the needs of adults with developmental disabilities who were graduating from Tiegerman and/or other local high schools. In addition to Day Habilitation programs in Queens and Nassau County, TCS provides a residential home for adults of all abilities. Adults from all walks of life are invited to join our living community of actively-engaged individuals. We provide a creative living and working environment which facilitates personal growth.
