Sponsored by BRS Backyard Bug Busters ›From homework help to basic needs, Highlands Family Success Center is the resource every family in the Highlands deserves.
At 1801 Greenwood Lake Turnpike, the Highlands Family Success Center does something rare: it actually delivers on the promise of community. Families come through the door looking for one thing and leave knowing they have a place that will show up for them across every stage of life. The five-star reviews say it plainly, "If they don't have what you're looking for, their caring staff will point you in the right direction." That is not a tagline. That is Tuesday afternoon here.
The Center serves the Hewitt, NJ area with a range of programs that cover education, special services, and basic needs all under one roof. Whether a parent needs help navigating a resource, a child needs a quiet place to tackle homework, or a family is going through a rough patch and needs practical assistance, the staff meets people where they are without judgment.
The community around Greenwood Lake tends to be tight-knit and self-reliant, and this Center reflects that spirit. It is not a bureaucratic intake office. It feels like a neighborhood hub staffed by people who genuinely know your name and remember what you talked about last time.
Homework Help and Academic Support gives students a structured, encouraging environment after school where they can get real one-on-one assistance rather than struggling alone at the kitchen table.
Mommy and Me programs bring caregivers and young children together for developmental play, social connection, and early learning activities that make a measurable difference in school readiness. Beyond those signature offerings, the Center connects families to special services including case navigation, referrals to outside agencies, and direct assistance with basic needs like food and household essentials. Event programming and community gatherings round out the calendar, turning the building into a living, breathing neighborhood anchor.
If the specific service you need is not listed, ask anyway. The staff has an impressive track record of finding solutions, making calls, and linking families to the right people across the wider region.
