HFRC

What is the Hawthrone Family Resource Center (HFRC)?

We are part of the Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) District and were created as an integral part of—and are funded through—the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA). We are a team of people working together to give students and their families easier access to educational, health, and human services. We believe that by providing support to the family, we can enhance a child’s success and give them the opportunity to lead happy, healthy lives and to succeed in school. This support is provided by linking families with community agencies and resources that will enrich the lives of the children and families in our community.

Kentucky--State-Mandated Core Components for FRCs

We have our own blend of programs and services, but all of them provide support in our State-Mandated Core Components, which are the following: 

1. Full-time childcare for 2- and 3-year-olds. 

2. After-school childcare for 4- through 12-year-olds. Full-time childcare is available during the summer and on other days when school is not in session. 

3. The Families in Training Program, which includes an integrated approach to home visits, group meetings, and monitoring of child development for new and expectant parents.  

4. Family literacy services or similar programs designed to promote lifelong learning and give parents and children the chance to learn together.

5. Health services and/or referrals to health services
