Infants

Early intervention is the key to many of the Family Services Agency’s programs. Our experience has shown us that a child's success in life is often linked to the care they received even before they are born. That's why the Family Services staff gets involved with Montgomery County families as early as possible to give parents the help they need right from the beginning.

Services
