NYSARC, Inc was formed in 1949. It all started when two mothers from the Bronx were looking to start a day nursery for their young children. These mothers posted an ad in the New York Times and 200 city parents responded. Subsequently, these parents banded together to fight for the recognition of their children’s special needs and capabilities.
