Parent Education and Programs

Growing Great Kids (GGK) Home Visitation Program: Your child is born to learn.  In the first few years, children learn more and at a faster pace than at any other time in life.  You are your child’s first and most important teacher, but being a parent can be hard work.  The GGK program can help you capture the everyday teachable moments with specific when, what, how and why advice to maximize your child’s early brain, motor, social and emotional development.  This nationally acclaimed, research based, education and support program is offered free of charge to interested families with children ages prenatal to 3 years.  GGK offers personal visits, with one of our certified GGK Parent Educators, customized for the needs of your family. Visits can be held at your home, NCFR or a community location.
To sign up or learn more about the Home Visitation Program call 715-634-2299 or 800-733-KIDS.

Community Response: This program is a free service designed to strengthen and support families. Your needs will determine what services will be offered to you. You are in control of what happens. Program staff will partner with you and your family, if you choose to volunteer for the program. Any contact with the Community Response Program at NCFR is completed confidential, unless you choose to release information to an outside source. If you are interested in this program, or have additional questions, please contact NCFR by calling (800) 733-KIDS.

Car Seat Safety: Northwest Connection Family Resources has Certified Car Seat Technicians who are available to properly install car seats and to educate on car seat safety.

We are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, or if you have a question after hours, please email us at nwconnection@ncfrwi.net.
