Programs & Services
Family Connections Programs provide opportunities for families with children ages birth to five to explore, learn, and play together. We are a resource for parents and caregivers to get to know one another, share experiences and become better equipped to raise their children in an encouraging family environment.
Nothing can brighten our community's future more than our children - raised to be confident, healthy and self-sufficient. Maintaining and enhancing a strong family-child connection makes a huge difference in their lives, in their readiness for school, and for the vitality of our community.
