Early Learning Programs
The CRC strives to help children, families and communities thrive and connect.
​
The Family Support Program at the CRC is a warm and inviting place where families and individuals are welcomed and encouraged to participate in programs designed to support and enhance a nurturing and vibrant community. Our staff and volunteers provide individual support, skill building, and resource information to people and families in our community at no cost. Achieve your family goals. Attend playgroups, parenting classes, and learn about what resources are available to you.
New to the Community Resource Center in 2023, the Early Learning Programs are no-cost opportunities for young families to play, learn, and prepare for kindergarten. As part of the Community Coalition of Stanwood Camano, the CRC is leading the way with the 360° Kindergarten Readiness initiative in the Stanwood Camano community. Programs are open to children (0-5 years) and their grownups (grown-ups must be 18 or older).

"This program is based on widely recognized and accepted theories and best practices in the fields of child development; early learning; parent education; Family, Friend and Neighbor care; community development; and cultural competence."

At Caregiver Cafés, we get real about what matters most: your family. We're all about building up those protective factors, and we do that by sparking meaningful conversations with parents and caregivers just like you. Childcare provided as space allows. RSVP is required.
