The Family Resource Center recognizes the importance of developing and maintaining successful partnerships between the family, the school and the community. We understand that successful partnerships are developed when those involved recognize and accommodate differences among families, communities and cultures. It is our philosophy that the primary responsibility for the development and well-being of children lies within the family, therefore we strive to enable the family to build on their own strengths and capacities in promoting the healthy development of their children. OUR MISSION The Family Resource Center provides an array of services to promote and support healthy family development. We work together with families to support growth and development of all family members. This site uses cookies from Google to deliver its services and to analyze traffic.
