The Child & Family Network Centers

It’s simple: children thrive when families succeed.

Inspired and guided by this truth for 30 years, The Child and Family Network Centers’ (CFNC) mission is to provide caring, high-quality, free education and related services to under resourced children and their families in their own neighborhoods in order to prepare them for success in school and life. Based in Alexandria, VA, CFNC was started in 1984 by a group of mothers after seven of their children failed kindergarten. This endeavor was an immediate success. Over time, CFNC expanded both its reach and its range of services in response to community need. CFNC supports the success of these children’s lives by providing accredited preschool and the support services their families need to succeed.
