Honoring Our Past, Building Brighter Futures

The AFS Journey

Our journey began with a simple mission: to support children and families through compassionate, expert care. Over the years, we have grown, adapted and expanded our services to meet the evolving needs of our community. We’ve grown to become a trusted partner in early intervention, therapy and family support.

Driven by Purpose, Grown by Need

How Our Programs Grew

Aprendamos began with a single early intervention program and a small team committed to helping families thrive. As the needs of our community grew, so did we—expanding into new programs that support children and families at every stage of life. From autism services to family counseling, each program was created with compassion, and the goal of meeting families where they are.

  • Aprendamos Early Intervention

    Aprendamos Intervention Team was founded as a therapist-run organization, providing early intervention services for children from birth to three years old.
