Macon Resources, Inc. (MRI) has services for children of all ages. Bright Start services provide support to parents that will enhance their child's development through the crucial years of birth to 5 years. Prenatal services are also available through Bright Start.
Plus, we offer Kid's Connection, our after-school and summer care program for children with disabilities between the ages of 7 and 18.

“I am a single parent; my family lives out of town, and I have limited resources. My daughter is an active child who has Down syndrome. I am thankful for the Macon Resources home-based care program, because it gives me the break that I need, which allows me to have time for myself. I look forward to it; I depend on it, and I love it. I don’t know what I would do without MRI’s home-based care. The staff are all wonderful. I praise them for the job that they do with my daughter.”
