What We Do
Our mission: We are dedicated to supporting healthy child development by providing high quality education, support and programs to families and early childhood professionals.
The nonprofit Family & Childcare Resources of N.E.W. was established in 2008 as both a family resource center (FRC) and a childcare resource & referral (CCR&R) agency. We want every child to have a happy, healthy, and safe start in life, which is why we provide support for those who care for children: parents, caregivers, and childcare providers.
Learn about our agencyParents
Our two main programs for parents and other caregivers are Parents as Teachers (PAT) and Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). Both nationally accredited programs are free to participants.
PAT is an evidence-based early childhood model where our trained parent educators provide at-home services to support pregnant women and families with children from birth through kindergarten.

This program is offered in several ways: 3-part seminars, workshops/discussion groups, 8-week group classes, and one-on-one support with a parent educator. We also have Spanish speaking staff for Hispanic groups.
