Services at the Center are provided through its Early Head Start program and the Judy Hoyer Center Partnership. Parents of children in M.R.D.C. Head Start in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten at Holly Hall Elementary School are among those who benefit from the Center's services. The Early Head Start program is the first early childhood education program in Cecil County that is fully accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education. Parents may participate in classes in adult basic education, English for Speakers of Other Languages, computer literacy, parenting education, case management services, developmental childcare, career development and job skills training. They can also take advantage of educational activities designed to help them participate fully as their child's first teacher.

Parents are supported in their adult education with free childcare while they attend school, transportation to and from school, and assistance with obtaining employment. Formal and informal parenting education familiarizes parents with the MMSR, Gardner's multiple intelligences, and individual learning styles.

Staff of the Family Education Center work together with Cecil College's Adult Education program to provide efficient, effective services without duplication of effort. Services are available at the Center or at the Division of Continuing Education as appropriate. Parents who complete their GED are encouraged to attend the college and are assisted with registration and financial aid applications. The Family Education Center is committed to improving the skills of childcare staff throughout Cecil County, and it has obtained grant funding to support staff that enters the Early Childhood Education degree program.
