The Family Nurturing Center:
Jackson County Children's Crisis Relief Nursery
 |
|
Hundreds of small children in Jackson County suffer the trauma, pain, sadness and the potentially lifelong impact of child abuse and neglect. The Family Nurturing Center, Children’s Relief Nursery of Jackson County, is helping break the cycle of abuse. For the past three years, children under five years of age have come regularly to FNC’s therapeutic early childhood program. Their parents have received regular support from trained FNC’s Care Coordinators/Teachers, both in their homes and at the FNC. Parents have been able to relieve stress or take care of business by bringing their children to respite childcare.
The Family Nurturing Center is a non-profit program, born out of a community need and created by a community that cares about is children and families. Learn more about what the Family Nurturing Center does, why it is so important and how you can help. | |

Playground Transformation...
January 6th was an exciting day at the Family Nurturing Center. Friends, city officials and state legislators joined children, board members and staff to break ground for the exciting renovations to FNC’s play yard. Since the transformation began, the members of the Leadership Class have raised funds, received multiple donations of materials and labor, and have been working every weekend. New additions will include a covered and enclosed area for infants and toddler, climbing structures for older toddlers and preschoolers, slides, hills, tunnels, and others enchanting spaces. | |
