Family Focus
To better reach out to our community and become a resource to all parents with young children, Child Care Resources has a weekly radio program called the Family Focus.
Each week, we will focus on a different topic that has an impact on early childhood. We’ll cover early literacy tips, developmentally appropriate activities, health information, and much more. Plus, we’ll be able to highlight important happenings in the early childhood world, such as the Week of the Young Child and Child Care Provider Appreciation Week.
Tune into Star FM 92.7 or Eagle 93.3 during the drive times of 8:00 a.m., noon, and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, for the Family Focus Minute.
