Family Support

Neighborhood Centers provides family support services to adults who are expecting or have young children. Our goal is to help families become self-sufficient, healthy, and ready for school. We offer home-visits, group-based parent education programs, prenatal services, and adult education. Our Family Support Program is credentialed under the Iowa Family Support Credential Program, which means we follow high standards of quality and effectiveness. Our Family Support Staff are trained professionals who work with parents to enhance their parenting skills, advocate for their needs, and connect them with natural networks of support. We focus on areas such as: Maternal and Child Health, School Readiness, and Strong Families. Whether you are expecting a baby or have young children, we are here to support you and your family.

Home Visits

We offer parenting home visits to help families work through issues they face, to set goals, and to provide an environment in which parents can talk about and practice their parenting skills.

Adult Education

Our adult education program provides parents with a way to model continuing education and encourage family literacy. We offer English Language Learners (ELL) and GED/ High School Diploma classes.

Community Events

We host events that encourage parent involvement and family togetherness. Examples include family fun nights, cookouts and barbeques, and family dinners.
