PROGRAMS

Founded in 1998, Family Resource Center St. Croix Valley offers free parent education and support to families in Pierce, Polk, &
St. Croix counties. Family Resource Center offers a variety of programs that are based on the Parents as Teachers model, an internationally-recognized and evidence-based curriculum.

Baby & Me is a virtual play & discussion hour for infants & their parents. Babies can observe, interact & explore with other babies while parents connect with other moms & dads.  This program is in partnership with six hospitals as part of United Way St. Croix Valley's Success by 6 Initiative.

Home Visits offer individualized parent support & education while in the comfort of your home. Parent Educators provide
age-appropriate child development information, parent-child play ideas, developmental screenings & opportunities for parents to discuss various child-related, parenting topics. Parent Educators are also committed to helping families connect with other community resources. 
We made1600 virtual and in-person visits last year to113 families!

Triple P is an approach to parenting that helps families build safe, stable & nurturing relationships. It is not about rules. It is about gaining the skills and confidence to handle all the ups & downs together.  Triple P’s positive parenting tools & tips have helped thousands of families spend more time learning and growing together, and less time dealing with stress & misbehavior.

ECE FAST [Early Childhood Education + Families & Schools Together] is a parent-child group connection tailored for parents & caregivers of children from18 months to 4 years old.  This program is facilitated by Parent Educators what partners with parents to increase their children's social/emotional well-being & learning readiness.

Parent Cafe's are a new program where Family Resource Center provides a physically and emotionally safe space where parents & caregivers talk about the challenges & victories of raising a family. 

Young Parent program is available for any teen who is pregnant or parenting. In addition to home visits, young moms & dads can attend twice monthly group classes. The parent educator creates a safe, supportive environment for students to connect with each other about the day-to-day challenges of raising a child while still in high school. Students who complete all three components of the class – home visits, group participation, and written assignments – can earn elective credit toward high school graduation.
