Maui Family Support Services

Maui Family Support Services — EHS Child Development Center is a community-focused early childhood and family support program located in Lahaina, Hawaii. It operates as part of Maui Family Support Services, Inc., a broader nonprofit dedicated to strengthening families and promoting positive child development across Maui County. The Lahaina site specifically hosts Early Head Start (EHS) services including child development activities, developmental screenings, and home visiting programs for infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and their families. The center emphasizes healthy parent-child interaction and supports social‑emotional development as part of its mission to build family resilience and well‑being.

In addition to center‑based early childhood care, Maui Family Support Services provides home visiting services through trained Parent/Child Educators who support families directly in their homes. These services focus on optimizing daily routines, strengthening nurturing relationships, and connecting families to community resources. The organization’s programs also include group socializations and parent support opportunities that reinforce parenting skills and foster community connection. Across Maui County, MFSS programs help families navigate stressors, enhance protective factors, and lay a foundation for successful development and school readiness among young children.
