Family and Childcare Resources of Northeast Wisconsin (FCRNEW) is excited to announce its upcoming move to a new location. Beginning February 2nd, 2026, FCRNEW will operate out of its new facility at 414 S Jefferson Street in Green Bay Wisconsin.

This relocation marks a significant milestone in FCRNEW’s growth and commitment to expanding its impact. The new space offers improved accessibility, better location, and proximity with community agencies, allowing the organization to better serve its clients, volunteers, and partners.

“We’re thrilled about this move,” said Matt Roberts, Executive Director of FCRNEW. “Our new home will enable us to enhance our programs and continue building a stronger foundation for the future.”

FCRNEW’s monthly diaper events on December 9th and January 13th will take place at their current location: 201 W Walnut Street. Please note that the 201 W Walnut Street location will close to the public on December 10th, and services will be available by appointment only until FCRNEW reopens at the new location on February 2nd. Regular programming will resume at the new location starting February 2nd.

Durante los últimos 28 años, ha sido un honor y privilegio haber servido a esta increíble comunidad. Juntos, hemos creado una organización que verdaderamente se preocupa y apoya a los niños y las familias. Los recuerdos que hemos creado y los logros que hemos alcanzado siempre ocuparán un lugar especial en mi corazón.

Me invade un profundo sentimiento de gratitud y reflexión al anunciar que me jubilaré de mi cargo de Directora Ejecutiva de Family & Childcare Resources de NEW a partir del 30 de mayo de 2025.

Nuestra junta ejecutiva ha estado trabajando en un proceso de contratación y publicará el puesto a principios de enero.

A nuestro maravilloso personal, su dedicación y pasión han sido la fuerza impulsora detrás de nuestro éxito. Todos ustedes me han escuchado decir el “nosotros” colectivo, pero lo que realmente quiero decir es “ustedes”. Sus esfuerzos incansables y su compromiso inquebrantable con nuestra misión han tenido un profundo impacto en las vidas de muchas personas. Estoy profundamente agradecida por su colaboración y amistad. A mis compañeros de recursos y derivaciones para el cuidado infantil y de centros de recursos familiares en todo el estado: su inquebrantable apoyo, amabilidad y experiencia siempre han sido apreciados, y los extrañaré.

Algunos de los logros de los que estoy especialmente orgullosa:

  • La fusión en 2008 para convertirse en un centro de recursos y referencias para el cuidado infantil y un centro de recursos familiares.
  • Mi trabajo y colaboración con agencias estatales como Supporting Families Together Association y la Junta de Prevención del Abuso y Negligencia Infantil de Wisconsin.
  • Liderar la agencia durante la pandemia de COVID y apoyar a nuestro personal para que pudieran seguir apoyando a las familias y a los profesionales de la primera infancia.

A medida que paso al siguiente capítulo de mi vida, estoy segura de que Family & Childcare Resources continuará prosperando bajo un nuevo liderazgo. Si bien el panorama del cuidado infantil ha experimentado cambios significativos en los últimos 30 años, los cimientos que hemos construido juntos son sólidos. Espero ver el crecimiento continuo y el éxito de FCRNEW para aumentar el reconocimiento y la importancia del desarrollo de la primera infancia. Atesoraré los recuerdos que hemos creado juntos y les deseo todo lo mejor para el futuro.

Mi corazón siempre estará con Family & Childcare Resources y el personal. Gracias a todos por hacer que mi tiempo aquí sea realmente especial.

Con sincera gratitud,

Paula Breese

We have a unique opportunity for a childcare provider in Brown County!

To better support their staff, a local nonprofit is looking for a dedicated member of the community to open a family childcare program. This nonprofit will require a licensee to operate this program within a facility owned by the nonprofit.

The provider will:

  • Be the licensee for the program which includes:
    • Writing polices for the childcare program and following them.
    • Pass a background check and fingerprinting
    • Meet educational requirements as mandated by the Department of Children and Families (DCF)
    • Handle all record keeping and accounting for the childcare program with support from Family and Childcare Resources of NEW and the nonprofit.
  • Plan, supervise and implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum that creates an environment to promote the developmental needs, health, and safety of the children enrolled.
  • Interacts directly with the children and maintains strong communication with the parents/guardian.

More details:

  • The provider/licensee would rent the facility and could live onsite.
  • There is a possibility that the licensee will need to hire staff to meet DCF 250 ratios and to possibly expand to offer 24 hour care.

Over the past 28 years, it has been my honor and privilege to serve this incredible community. Together, we have built an organization that truly cares for and supports children and families. The memories we have made and the milestones we have achieved will always hold a special place in my heart.

I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and reflection as I announce that I will be retiring from my role as Executive Director of Family and Childcare Resources of NEW effective May 30th, 2025.

Our executive board has been working on a hiring process and will post the position early in January.

To our amazing staff, your dedication and passion have been the driving force behind our success. You have all heard me say the collective “we,” but what I really mean is “you.” Your tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to our mission have made a profound impact on the lives of so many. I am deeply grateful for your partnership and friendship. To my fellow childcare resource and referral and family resource center partners across the state – your unwavering support, kindness and expertise has always been appreciated, and I will miss you.

Some of the accomplishments I am especially proud of:

  • The merger in 2008 to become a childcare resource and referral and a family resource center.
  • My work and collaboration with statewide agencies such as Supporting Families Together Association and the Wisconsin Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention Board.
  • Leading the agency through COVID and supporting our staff so they could continue to support families and the early childhood professionals.

As I move on to the next chapter of my life, I am confident that Family & Childcare Resources will continue to thrive under new leadership. While the childcare landscape has undergone significant changes over the past 30 years, the foundation we have built together is strong. I look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of FCRNEW to increase the recognition and importance of early childhood development. I will cherish the memories we have created together, and I wish you all the best for the future.

My heart will always remain with Family & Childcare Resources and the staff. Thank you all for making my time here truly special.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Paula Breese
