Our History

Celebrate the Children consists of a group of professionals who have been working together over the past 15 years to provide services to children with special needs under the employment of various school districts in New Jersey. Celebrate the Children was initially founded in 2004 by Monica G. Osgood, behavioral consultant. The other members consist of Lauren Blaszak, the Celebrate the Children board of directors and very involved parents like you!

The success of their intervention services has been recognized worldwide and is now in overwhelming demand, culminating in Celebrate the Children branching off into a full-service school setting in their first school in Byram, NJ. The school has expanded into two seperate schools and serves over 60 districts and 106 students in its educational programs alone. The existing CTC programs are currently serving as models to other programs developing under the DIR philosophy. Observers and working volunteers are a regular feature within the programs as other professionals take advantage of learning within the model.
