About Child And Family First Co.

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, Child And Family First Co. is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to uplifting families and nurturing the well-being of children. Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to provide accessible, compassionate support for every parent, guardian, and young person who walks through our doors. While no two family journeys are the same, our goal remains steadfast: to empower households with the tools, resources, and personal attention they need to thrive.

Our Mission

At Child And Family First Co., our mission is simple yet profound: to place families and children at the center of everything we do. We believe every child deserves a safe, caring environment in which they can learn, grow, and discover their full potential. By collaborating with community partners, experts in child development, and local schools, we create a comprehensive network of programs tailored to address the unique challenges facing Reading’s families.

Our Commitment to Families

We recognize that reaching out for help can be daunting. That’s why our team is dedicated to building trust from the very first interaction. You’ll find staff who listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to understand your specific needs—whether you’re seeking guidance on parenting strategies, financial assistance, or educational resources. While we acknowledge that some families have felt less supported in the past, we take every piece of feedback to heart and continue refining our services to ensure that no family ever feels overlooked.

Tailored Support Services

Child And Family First Co. offers a spectrum of programs designed to make a positive, lasting difference:

• Parent Coaching and Workshops
• After-School Enrichment Activities
• Counseling and Emotional Wellness Support
• Resource Referrals for Housing, Healthcare, and Education

Each program is delivered by experienced professionals who believe in practical, hands-on approaches. Many participants report that our personalized coaching “really helps,” highlighting the real-life impact of our guidance on day-to-day challenges.

A Team That Goes the Extra Mile

One of the most consistent praises we receive centers on our staff’s unwavering dedication. Families frequently share stories about team members who stayed after hours to answer last-minute questions, drove materials to homes in need, or connected parents with emergency services in a moment’s crisis. As one review puts it, “They really care and go the extra mile!” This spirit of generosity and genuine concern is woven into our organizational fabric—it's not just what we do; it’s who we are.

Ensuring Child-Friendly Experiences

We understand that parents entrust us with their most precious treasures— their children. Our facilities are designed with safety and engagement in mind, featuring bright learning spaces, age-appropriate play corners, and nurturing environments that foster creativity. While a small number of visitors have felt we could improve our child-friendliness, we view those critiques as valuable insights, driving us to enhance our programs continually. From sensory-sensitive areas to story-time circles, every outlet is crafted to spark curiosity and confidence in young minds.
