Director – Brett Chornyak

We welcome the opportunity to serve all families in our community. We proudly serve families through programs and services based upon mutual respect which promotes safe & healthy lifestyles, a commitment to life-long learning, and, pride in self and our community. We provide a variety of programs and services focusing on family members of differing ages with differing needs. We provide access to and information about federally-funded and state-funded services for all community members. We are a caring, highly-competent professional staff. We are a dedicated and committed Board of Directors. The Milton Family Community Center was established after the receipt of a federal grant under the umbrella of Head Start in 1985. The Center was one of only fifteen centers in the United States to receive this funding.  In September 1985, we opened our rented doors in a house on Main Street in Milton next to the Catholic Church. The Milton Family Community Center developed the concept of a community center which would emphasize and encourage positive relationships between young children and parents through education and family support; create easier access to services for families by making them available at a central location within Milton; and encourage outreach and field work from Burlington-based agencies by offering them a place to work and coordinate activities at a satellite location within Milton to serve area residents.  Soon after the startup of the center, it became an independent parent/child center governed by a Board of Directors consisting of community leaders, parents and collaborating agency representatives.
