First A.M.E. Child And Family Center
Our mission is to provide comprehensive, high quality developmental services designed to empower children and their families. This is achieved through the teamwork of families, staff, and community partners.
Description:
First A.M.E. (FAME) Child and Family Center is one of five Head Start grantees in Seattle. Head Start focuses not only on the educational readiness of each child, but also on their social, emotional, and physical development.
Our agency has three locations in central Seattle and the Rainier Valley. Children of all abilities, from birth to five years of age, are enrolled in Early Head Start, Head Start and Child Care programs.
In addition to providing safe and constructive learning environments for children, FAME staff assist families in providing health and nutritional counseling, collaborate with families to develop individual family strengths and goals, and partner closely with other community services in the area to help better meet the needs and interests of FAME families.
History:
First A.M.E Child and Family Center was established in 1980. The agency provides free Head Start education and social services to income-eligible children and families in Capitol Hill, the Central Area, Rainier Valley, and North Beacon Hill communities. FAME prides itself in that both its staff and families represent the variety of cultures that make these areas of Seattle so unique and vibrant.
