Our Vision. The Family Resource Center is founded on the belief that children and families are vital to the richness and quality of life within San Joaquin County. The center staff is committed to the compassionate support of children and families in need of social support and training services. We believe that direct personal action will make a difference in the family life within our community.
The Need for child care
The growing cost of child care, and the need for parents to join the workforce, makes finding quality child care a priority for those living and working in San Joaquin County. The child care slots, currently available, are vital for the success of the San Joaquin County workforce.

Child Care Referrals
Referrals to all local families (both on and off our Child Care Payment programs) help parents and guardians find quality, affordable, and suitable care options for their children. These referrals support parents to go to work, find new career opportunities, and attend school/training to further their careers.
Supports all
Child care is and will continue to be an essential service, vital to the economic success of San Joaquin County. When families have access to child care that meets their needs, they are able to contribute to the local economy and community well-being.
