The Arc of Somerset County's 2019 Annual Appeal Starts Today!
Lisa Marie Arieno on 12/03/2019The Arc of Somerset County's Jerry Davis Center for Children & Families increased subsidies for our preschool/daycare program at The Jerry Davis Center for Children and Families have drastically risen since 2018 with a number of children living in households that are at or below the poverty line. For families who have a child with a disability or learning delay, the financial constraints are even more overwhelming.
Our goal is to remove the financial barriers to quality child care while providing important comprehensive services to children with disabilities. The Jerry Davis Center for Children and Families is the only Developmental Daycare in Somerset County and surrounding counties serving students with intellectual and developmental disabilities alongside their typically developing peers. Our active-learning curriculum helps children grow socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically in an environment that is professional, positive and nurturing.
To support The Arc of Somerset County’s Jerry Davis Center for Children and Families, please help us address this current need in our fiscal gap by contributing toward our end-of-year annual appeal to help us raise $30,000 to fully support up to 15 children in our programs for the remainder of the year.
Your donation toward the Student Tuition Assistance Program for families living below the poverty level in and around the Somerset County area will make a difference in a child’s opportunity to receive the early education that is needed during critical developmental stages. We thank you for your consideration toward this much needed end of year appeal for The Arc of Somerset County.

This summer, they premiered a video that featured one of our Arc of Somerset adults in a short documentary called :A Day in the Life of Burton..."
