Family Resource & Learning Center
 

We know that children start learning from the moment they are born.  We also know that parents are the most important teachers of their young children.  A family does best when both parents and children are reaching their educational goals.  The Family Resource and Learning Center (“FRLC”)  provides a broad range of free instruction and educational support to help families reach their goals:

  • Infant-toddler classes.  Teachers work with the very youngest children to stimulate brain growth and set the foundation for development of foundational literacy and math skills.
  • Parenting workshops.  Parents learn the milestones of child development, and work on skills and strategies to help their children develop academically, socially and emotionally.
  • Interactive Literacy for Parents and their Children.  Parents and children together engage in activities that strengthen the parent - child bond and develop the parent role as teacher.
  • Adult education.   Parents improve their own literacy and math skills, work toward their GED, and practice life skills that are helpful in raising a healthy family. 

 

Together, Alain Locke Charter Academy and the FRLC provide a seamless program. By providing a single, one-stop education for students from birth through elementary school along with programs to help parents support their children’s development, this innovative integration of programs creates a powerful educational opportunity.
