Nova Center
Serving Jackson County Missouri's Developmentally Disabled Since 1980.
Nova Center Inc., was founded in 1980 by a small group of parents with great determination and foresight.
Because their children’s special educational needs were not being met, they formed a not-for-profit corporation; hired dedicated, talented teachers; and established Nova Center. From a small start of 16 children in a church basement, we now serve approximately 125 children and adults in five different programs.

A Message From Nova’s CEO
The meaning of life really for a lot of people is that daily hug, that familiar face, that person you love, the security and knowing that I’m taken care of. You can just see it, miracles happen here at times. It’s unbelievable how we’ll get an individual and then a year or two later they blossom. Nova becomes their home. They didn’t have that opportunity where they were before coming to Nova, either because of a lack of funds, lack of caring, or just the lack of somebody with the energy to look out for them. I don’t care what you do. It’s not just Nova, we all should be living our lives for others.
– Mark Thill CPA, CEO – With Nova 24 Years
