Colonial School Age Child Care

Colonial Youth and Family Services, Inc. is a not-for-profit community based youth agency located in Mastic, New York. Colonial is the only comprehensive human service organization in the area and provides formal individual, group and family counseling for youth and their family members, linkage with community agencies, information and referral, teen parent services, child care, summer camp and family assistance for those in need of emergency services such as food, fuel, etc. Our primary catchment area is the William Floyd School District, which encompasses the hamlets of Mastic, Mastic Beach, Shirley and Moriches. However, the agency's incorporation enables it to offer services throughout Suffolk County.

Colonial is funded by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, the Suffolk County Youth Bureau, the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau, the Suffolk County Department of Social Services, Community Development and the United Way of Long Island. The agency sponsors two Fee for services programs. One is our Child Care Program which includes a Universal PreK, before and after school, daycare, vacation and parent/teacher conference programs for working parents. The other is our expanding Clinical Department offering many counseling services. Additionally, the agency runs an annual golf tournament and our Evening at Atlantis Dinner which generates unrestricted revenue that is utilized in part for a matching grant and also to offset program expenses.
