MOORESTOWN - Bancroft recently opened a new preschool & early education program here. The new facility enables Bancroft, which offers services for individuals with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities, to expand to more children ages 3 to 11 with autism and intellectual disabilities. It will serve approximately 65 students ( with current enrollment at 41) and it replaces the program in Cherry Hill, Bancroft said. The enhanced program includes: • An autism-friendly design with wide hallways, large classrooms and plentiful recreational space informed by the success of the Welsh Campus. … “We were able to expand to meet the demand for this type of program, which is a big deal as access to appropriate education as early as possible gives children with autism greater opportunity to reach their potential,” said Elizabeth Fuzy, program principal.
