WHAT WE DO

The Family Center is a place for your whole family to come for fun, learning and support.

We can connect you to needed resources and support you in achieving your goals.
You can meet with a staff person to get help for your family or your child who is struggling at home or in school.
We offer playgroups with stories, songs and activities to build early literacy skills.
You can join classes or groups to connect to others and build parenting skills.
We use a strength-based and trauma-informed approach.

All our programs are free and open to all families.
