Michigan Family Resources is a non-profit agency that provides holistic, family-centered services to low-income families in Kent County, Michigan. Founded in 1991, Michigan Family Resources receives federal funds to manage Head Start and Early Head Start.

These early childhood programs support the well-being and development of children from birth to age five by focusing on education, nutrition, medical and dental care, parent involvement and social services. Following strict federal standards, we create personalized health and education plans for every student and evaluate their progress twice per year.

We encourage parent involvement and are responsive to the developmental, ethnic, cultural and linguistic heritage of each child and family.
