Arsenal Family & Children's Center

The mission of Arsenal Family and Children's Center is to promote and to be an advocate for the healthy development of children and to support their parents in building a nurturing relationship with each child.

Founded in 1953 by renowned pediatrician, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Arsenal Family & Children's Center has a longstanding history and proven success in programs and services designed to promote healthy child development. Arsenal offers a range of programs and services from preschool programs to parenting programs. Our Developmental Toddler and Preschool programs serve children 2-5 years old. The programs are built around a play as learning curriculum that focuses on the child as an active participant in the learning process. Our early learning programs are NAEYC accredited and a Keystone STAR 4 Facility. Arsenal Parenting Programs offer supervised visitation and structured parent training to non-custodial parents and their children in individual or small group settings. Through this program, parents gain an understanding of their child's development, learn effective parenting techniques and build a trusting relationship with their child. Our ACT parenting class is designed to promote positive parenting and prevent child maltreatment by fostering knowledge and skills that change or improve parenting practices.
