UACE Maricopa Early Childhood Family Resource Center
 
 
 
The Family Resource Center (FRC) provides family support, enrichment activities, and early childhood professional development. The AmeriCorps member will provide program support; teach a variety of curricula; conduct community outreach, marketing, and engagement activities; assist with social media; and interact directly with children. The FRC is dedicated to building a community of support for families with young children 0-5 and kindergarten through third grade. Programming is focused on kindergarten readiness and includes opportunities to engage children and adults on the school campus. This position will provide major support for educational opportunities for families and their young children to learn about and engage with each other through parent-child interactions. Work will be primarily indoors but will include some outdoor activities. Play and learn groups are facilitated with parents and children using a variety of strategies and materials suitable for early childhood. Workshops and parent-child interaction experiences occur throughout the day. Members will engage with families and young children within these settings as well as provide childcare and activities to children ages 0-5 and kindergarten through third grade. The FRC is a highly active place that serves diverse families in South Phoenix. Through participation in day-to-day activities at the FRC, parents and their children become part of a community and opportunities for age-appropriate developmental learning experiences expand the child’s world of knowledge, literacy is enhanced, and parents gain new skills and friendships. A focus on ensuring that children meet or exceed developmental milestones is a unique feature of this program. Large-scale community events are held at the center to promote the social atmosphere of the neighborhood.
