Kulanu, in cooperation with the New York Coalition for Transportation Safety, has received a grant from the New York Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee to open a car seat fitting station. Kulanu will be checking car seat installations on a monthly basis as a free community service. Car seat checks are for all children, typically developing as well as those with special needs.
Car seat checks will be held on the fourth Wednesday morning of each month at the Kulanu Center for Special Services at 620 Central Avenue in Cedarhurst. Contact Mr. Hoffacker at (516) 569-3083 x136 or mark@kulanukids.org to make an appointment. Mr. Hoffacker is also available to speak to groups about child passenger safety. Read more...
