We have the resources to empower and support families.

The Family Resource Center
The goal of the Family Resource Center (FRC) is to foster early literacy and healthy child development. The center offers multi-cultural parenting programs, life skills workshops, support groups, early childhood services, community events, and information and referral resources for families whose children range in age from birth to 12 years of age. Classes are offered in English, Spanish, and Khmer and childcare is provided. All services are free and confidential.
Parenting Journey Classes
This 8-12 week curriculum is designed to help parents increase their self-care practices, raise awareness of past and present factors that influence their parenting styles, and enhance their parenting skills to build nurturing family relationship. Grounded in family systems thinking, this model focuses on the strengths.

Developmental Screenings
The FRC offers the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE) to assess developmental progress in children between the ages of one month to 5 1/2 years. The developmental screening tools identify a child’s strengths, catches possible delays, and celebrates developmental and social-emotional milestones.
