Family Fundamentals is a collaboration of agencies committed to strengthening families and our community. Located above Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine, a medical clinic serving uninsured and underinsured people, the center welcomes drop-ins as well as those who have appointments or are attending scheduled classes and events. 

Family Fundamentals is a 10,000 square foot facility with a library, computer lab, family learning kitchen, model pre-school classroom, dramatic play room and conference room. 

More than 50 partner agencies offer services onsite to provide a one-stop opportunity for parents.  Parents and other caregivers come to access information, support services, activities, and other tools to be the best parents they can be.  Recurring activities include early literacy, infant stimulation, support groups, and a variety of special events that promote school readiness with fund activities and special guests. Many classes are offered from parent education to stress reduction. See our current calendar.

Volunteer opportunities exist for greeters, library assistants, creative arts teachers, music leaders, and others who want to work with young children and families.
