Our Philosophy

It is our belief that children should be given the opportunity to grow and progress to the fullest of their potential. All of the many programs and services delivered by AYR and EYFS are based on a multi-systemic approach that acknowledges that individuals are inextricably parts of systems and that the health and well being of an individual is tied to and ultimately affected by the health and well-being of the entire system.  In utilizing this inclusive approach, we often work not only with individuals and families but also with neighborhoods, schools, communities, other social service agencies and other significant people in the youth and family’s life. Our agency is focused on building upon the strengths of the families we serve.
