Family and Early Childhood Program

Strong Families Start Here.

First Foundations is a FREE program through Family Support Services that supports expecting parents and families with children under the age of three. We provide a welcoming space for parents and caregivers to connect, learn, and access support that meets their family's needs.

Our goal is to help families build on their strengths, develop healthy relationships, and feel supported through pregnancy and the early years of parenting.

How We Support Families

• Parenting Education: Practical information on pregnancy, child development, positive parenting, healthy relationships, and life skills.

• Parent Connections: Opportunities to meet other parents, share experiences, and build supportive relationships.

• Family Needs Assessments: Working together to identify your family's strengths, goals, and needs.

• Case Management: Individualized support and connections to community resources, including food, healthcare, and other essential needs.

• Ongoing Support: Education, guidance, and encouragement from pregnancy through your child's third birthday.

Who Can Participate?

First Foundations serves eligible expecting parents, parents, and caregivers with children under age three, including fathers and adoptive parents.

All services are FREE for eligible families.

Community Referrals

First Foundations works alongside community organizations to increase access to education, resources, and personalized family support.

We welcome referrals from schools, childcare centers, healthcare providers, women's and children's programs, social service agencies, and other community partners who serve new and expecting parents or families with young children.

By working together, we can help connect families with the tools, relationships, and resources they need to succeed.

First Foundations is supported through the Texas Health and Human Services Thriving Texas Families initiative.
