Family Development Services

Family Development Services is a Head Start organization, whose mission is to improve the lives of low-income children by providing high-quality early childhood education and comprehensive, family-focused services. Family Development Services has been dedicated to the mission and Head Start philosophy by providing Head Start and Early Head Start services for over 20 years to 1500 children and their families in Indianapolis and Noblesville, IN where their 11 centers reside.

Family Development Services takes pride in striving towards providing a program of excellence and high-quality services to their children and families. 10 of 11 centers are NAEYC accredited and rank Level 4 in their state's Paths to the Quality rating system. They uphold the spirit and mission of Head Start through developing parents and children to become advocates and leaders within their community.

In 2015 two of their fathers in the program became the pioneers in starting their Fatherhood Engagement Program, F.R.O.G. (Father's Reaching Opportunities and Greatness). F.R.O.G.'s mission is to provide mentoring and training to strengthen fatherhood within the family while encouraging education, family values, and fatherly love. The FROG program has led to several workshops and family engagement opportunities within and outside of the organization. F.R.O.G now sponsors an Annual Father's and Families Conference for all families enrolled in their program in the Spring, in addition to a host of community outings for the father's and their children. These efforts have led to Family Development Services desire to become affiliates for the Midwest Region.
