Who We Are
Broadreach Family & Community Services (formerly known as Waldo County Preschool & Family Services) is a private, nonprofit agency. Our programs and services have been making a positive difference in the lives of children and families since 1983.
Our Mission
We help children and families to develop the skills they need to lead healthy and productive lives. We share our knowledge and experience with child- and family- serving organizations across the state and nation.
Our Philosophy
We believe that all children and families have basic rights, including: the right to early intervention and an appropriate education through the least restrictive means; the right to nutritional food, medical care, and safe and warm housing; and the right to love and be loved and to receive a fair chance at succeeding in life. We strive to uphold these rights for children and families. They deserve nothing less.
