Philosophy
The Stafford Family Resource Center believes that parents are the foundation of a child's development. The Stafford FRC works to support families by providing accessibility to community - based resources as well as parenting education programs.. We believe that through partnering with families, community agencies and the public school system, we can create positive health and developmental outcomes for children.
Parenting Education & Support
Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a nationally accredited parent education curriculum based on the concept that parents are a child's first and most important teacher. Stafford FRC Home visitors are certified in PAT. This curriculum is used during home visits and also during family connection times.
Parenting Workshops
Throughout the year we offer parenting workshops on a variety of topics such as Positive Discipline Techniques, Autism Spectrum Information and Support, ADD/ADHD Information and Support, and more!
FRC Learn & Play Groups for ages 0-5
Groups are designed to encourage social and emotional learning while providing opportunities for parents/caregivers to interact with their children in a fun and developmentally enriching environment.
