Announcements

Children considered for Green Chimneys’ therapeutic programs are boys and girls ages 6-16 upon admission, who are struggling with a variety of social, emotional and behavioral challenges related to:
Green Chimneys Day Programs accept students primarily from school districts in New York State and Connecticut. Admission to the therapeutic elementary and middle schools is based on referrals from sending school districts and the individual needs of the student. Student enrollment is covered by the home school district.
Green Chimneys Residential Treatment Center accepts children from school districts across New York State and Connecticut. Admission is based on school district or agency referral and the individual needs of the child. Residential Program costs are covered by the home school district.
While we would like to be a resource for all children with special needs, we are not appropriately equipped to provide treatment for children who display active fire setting, problematic sexualized behavior, active psychosis or substance abuse, or who are adjudicated youth. In addition, we are unable to provide appropriate treatment for children with IQs below 80.
Please note that children referred with severe medical conditions or physical disabilities are evaluated on a case-by-case basis in order to assess our ability to meet their medical needs.
Please contact Admissions at 845.279.2995 x115 or submit an inquiry form.
Meet Shelby! As a member of the Green Chimneys Dog Interaction Program, dogs like Shelby come to us from a partner shelter for socialization. The relationship between these dogs and our students is symbiotic: the dogs get lots of attention and exercise, while our students learn patience, responsibility, and empathy. Shelby has a special place in our hearts because she was the 100th dog to pass through the Dog Interaction Program, and was quickly adopted into her forever home.
