About Kids First in Pine Bluff

Kids First in Pine Bluff serves over 90 children from Jefferson county and surrounding areas and employs more than 45 staff and contractors from the community. Our clinic features 11 treatment rooms, dedicated therapy areas, a large indoor playroom and an expansive playground area.

UAMS Kids First Pine Bluff works in cooperation with local, area and state colleges to provide observation and training to nursing, early childhood and special education students. The clinic director is Gwen Knight-Haney, R.N.

How We Began

The Pine Bluff clinic began operations in 1993 in a small building provided by Jefferson Regional Medical Center. The first location had only 4 treatment rooms, so it was a great surprise when local business man Don Ritchie offered to build a structure just for UAMS Kids First.

Appointment Information

Evaluation for enrollment at Kids First requires a referral from the child’s primary care physician.

Through the intake process, our interprofessional team of early childhood professionals, occupational, speech, and physical therapists, dietitians, and nurses works with families to conduct evaluations and collect information regarding the child and family’s strengths and needs. Results from the assessments are reviewed by the Kids First team to determine eligibility for services.
