A community-based nonprofit providing early intervention services including speech, physical and occupational therapy and special instruction to children birth to school age in and around Philadelphia.

Our Mission

Our mission is to partner with families and communities to positively impact early childhood development.

VCFS was founded in 2000 by Joetta Moran Kersey, a speech-language pathologist, who worked for the School District of Philadelphia. Joetta saw a need for education and support for families with small children in the community she lived and worked in. Her desire became the driving force for our vision: to empower parents and caretakers in their communities and strengthen their connections to resources increasing their child’s ability to learn, grow and thrive throughout the cycles of life.
