Dr. Maria Rochart
Founder/Director
New Horizons Family Center


New Horizons Family Center was born of a dream‚ ' that every child deserves a safe and nurturing childhood and an opportunity to become a responsible, contributing member of the community. At New Horizons, our mission is to foster the healthy development of children and families through domestic-violence and child-abuse prevention and interventions that address developmental, academic, social-emotional, and mental-health needs.

Established in 1994, New Horizons currently operates an integrated range of programs for low-income children and families at three south Glendale locations:

Dr. Maria Rochart, Founder/Director of New Horizons Family Center
  • Child Development Center, serving 72 infants and preschoolers: Even Start Family Literacy Program; Day Education Program;

  • Youth Recreation Center/Gymnasium Program: Gas Company Tomorrow's Leaders Technology Program; After School Program; Teen College Academy;

  • Children's Mental Health Clinic; School-Based Counseling Program; Domestic Violence Treatment and Anger Management Program; Parenting Education.

  • A fourth property was recently acquired for "Nuestra Casa," a second child-care program and family resource center.

Special thanks to our contributors, who have made our expansion possible, and who have supported our efforts to fill critical service gaps in the community. Thanks also to our Board of Directors and our Advisory Board for supporting our efforts to provide high-quality services to an at-risk population.

In closing, we must not forget our outstanding, caring staff, as well as the volunteers who work endless hours to help make New Horizons a special place for children and parents.

We at New Horizons are looking forward to an even better and brighter future for all children. We expend an invitation to each of you to visit us and watch us grow!

With warmest wishes,
Maria A. Rochart, Psy.D.
