Programs & Support

Parents As Teachers (PAT) Home Visiting

A professionally trained Parent Educator will visit your family each month to share information and resources about child development and parenting topics using the nationally acclaimed Parents As Teachers Curriculum.

 

This program is available at no cost to parents living in Eau Claire or Dunn County, who are expecting or adopting a baby, and/or who's child is under the age of 5.  Visits can be weekly, bi-monthly or monthly; and we aim to work with a family for at least two years. 

As a PAT family, you will receive: 

  • Personal Visits: During these visits, your Parent Educator will share age-appropriate child development and parenting information, help you learn to observe your child and address your parenting concerns.

  • Screenings: Assessment of your child's overall development as well as health, hearing and vision.  Assessment uses the acclaimed ASQ (Ages & Stages Questionnaire) and Milestones Moments.

  • Resource Network: This network will link your family to other community services.

Adaptive Events & Resources

We are dedicated to serving families of children with disabilities, delays, and special health care needs.

Our staff are parents themselves, and many of us have children with high support needs. We have experienced just how confusing and exhausting it can be to navigate numerous programs and advocate for accommodations, whether through the school or County or medical system. We’ve experienced the challenges and isolation of parenting children who need controlled environments and intense supervision.

We want to provide a welcoming and supportive space for your family and help you connect with relevant resources throughout our community. 

Support for Nursing Mothers

Nursing moms are welcome to feed their babies when and however they feel comfortable. Our Nursing Nook is a small private area with a comfy rocking chair available for use whenever the FRC is open.

La Leche League

La Leche League of Eau Claire meets alternating virtual and in-person. A typical meeting includes an informal discussion of the meeting topic and a time for sharing questions or concerns. Books on childbirth, breastfeeding, parenting, and nutrition may be borrowed from the group library.
