OUR PHILOSOPHY
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Parenting is the most challenging yet rewarding job you will ever have. 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.
