Our programs are voluntary. Families enroll because they want to improve their lives.

We support pregnant parents, babies, toddlers and preschoolers who may already be at-risk of failing in school or life by strengthening the entire family through education, health and social services. Our methods include home visits and family centers.

Home visits involve goal-setting with parents, parent education, child development activities and crisis intervention. Family centers provide free preschool, family-bonding events and parent group meetings.

Mental health services support all ages and all issues. Licensed therapists, trained staff and community support make services effective and affordable.

Since 1912, Riverbend Head Start & Family Services has offered positive, non-judgmental support for families. We pride ourselves on achieving our mission to enable children and families develop positive skills to meet life's challenges.
