"Kids Night Out" is a monthly program that is offered to local Somerset County parents of children who are living with learning and developmental disabilities and their sibilings.  The program is a respite service which occurs the third Friday of each  month, from 6:00pm-9:00pm.   The goal of the program is to allow parents some time to themselves to go out, enjoy a movie or dinner while knowing their children (with and without disabilities) are enjoying the evening under the care of professionals.

"These children and their siblings receive quality time away from their parents with craft making, games and  a pizza dinner, and the parents are relieved to know their children are left with professionals who can easily care for their children while they enjoy a few hours of relaxation", says Jennifer Orlick, Director of The Jerry Davis Center for Children and Families.
