Service Highlights Growing Together celebrates all of the major holidays with our families attending the program. One of the highlights is the Mother’s Day photos taken annually of moms and babes to be given as gifts. Our enrollment has been of great concern this year, with numbers being at a record low. We are working with the Surrey School District to showcase the program and the benefits of not only completing education but receiving wrap around services in parenting support and social issues. Family Resource Programs (FRP) FRPs are community-based programs, rich with resources that support families with children from 0 to 6 years of age. Using a strengths-based and mentoring approach we empower families with knowledge, understanding, resources and support so that they can be the parent they strive to be. The programs offer a wide range of networking opportunities, resources, referrals, education, community links and support in a safe, fun and child focused environment.
