The Eastern Christian Children's Retreat is a nonprofit organization serving the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities through a congregate care center, community based group homes and short-term respite care. The Retreat was founded in 1965 and opened its main building in 1972 for individuals with mental and physical disabilities.

Each weekday residents participate in programs that focus on daily living, recreational skills and spiritual development of all faiths and backgrounds. Residents receive physical, occupational and speech therapy appropriate to their special needs. Our emphasis is on providing a nurturing atmosphere where residents have the comfort and security of a homelike setting.
