The Fond du Lac FACE Program is looking forward to a busy month of
March. We will be having two group nights for FACE Families, one
focusing on Dental Health and one focusing on Healthy Sleep and
Dreamcatchers.
Our parent educators continue to visit families providing fun and
educational developmental materials for parents and their children. They
serve families who are prenatal or have a child through the age of
three.
In the Center Based FACE Program, children and their family member
attend school together, participating in Preschool, Adult Education,
PACT Time (Parent and Child Together) and Parent Time. The preschool
program is for children ages three to five years old. We also have
families that participate in FACE with a child attending the Fond du Lac
Ojibwe School grades Early Five through Third. The adults then go into
their child’s classroom at the Ojibwe School to complete their PACT
Time. It is a great opportunity for adults to complete their education,
high school / GED or college while teaching their child the importance
of education. If an adult has already completed their educational goals,
FACE staff can continue to assist and support them throughout many other
personal and professional goals. FACE can provide parenting skills,
computer skills, or simply a place for adults and children to come
together and better their lives.
FACE will be closed March 12-16, 2007 when the whole FACE Team will
fly out to Denver, Colorado for the FACE National Conference. While
there, each staff member will attend trainings and seminars to help make
FACE an even greater place!!
If you are interested in attending FACE or would like more
information about the program, please call Lorraine Fosness at 878-8148.
