On March 24, we had the privilege of joining Hayley Tenpas on WHBY’s Focus Fox Valley to talk about the mission and impact of First 5 Fox Valley. If you missed it, you can catch the interview here to hear from Board Chair Nancy Jones and Parent Steering Committee member Elisha Bushman.
During the conversation, Nancy shared how vital Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are in setting families—and communities—up for long-term success. “Investing in our youngest community members through Family Resource Centers lays the foundation for lifelong success,” she said.
Elisha offered a powerful perspective as a parent who has experienced the support of FRCs firsthand: “It’s not just about resources—it’s about relationships. That’s what makes Family Resource Centers so unique. They meet families where they are and walk alongside them.”
We are so grateful to Hayley and WHBY for creating space for this important conversation. Together, we’re helping more people understand the value of strengthening families by building community, connection, and trust—right from the start.
