Watertown Family Center: The WFC has been in existence since 1993. It
was started through a collaborative effort of the Watertown Unified
School District (WUSD), Head Start/CESA, and the Community Action
Coalition. During the first two years of the Center, a broad-based
community task force was put together and a community assessment was
done. As a result of the study, it was concluded that there was a need
for more educational parenting classes and to also fund a family
center. In wanting to increase their collaborative efforts for the
family, Watertown Regional Medical Center (WRMC) became the fiscal
agent to the WFC in 1995. The Watertown Family Center was a department
of the WRMC, a non-profit health care organization located in
Watertown, Wisconsin from 1995 thru September 2010. As Fiscal Agent to
the WFC all budgetary issues, including receiving and administering
grants, were handled through the finance department. In 2009, the
Watertown Family Center and WRMC mutually agreed that it was time for
the WFC to become its own 501c3 non-profit. The WFC received its
non-profit status on August 31, 2010. The WFC continues to be fiscally
strong and provide free programming to families in the Watertown area.
The Watertown Family Center is committed to providing quality
educational programs and resources promoting the social, emotional,
physical and intellectual development and well-being of children and
their families in Watertown, Wisconsin and surrounding areas. The
Watertown Family Center (WFC) is a local non-profit agency that is a
community resource for parents and their children ages of 0—5. By
providing parents with multiple free programs, the WFC feels this will
help enable them to become the best possible parents they can be for
their children. At the WFC, we are dedicated to providing families
with the education and resources they need to build healthy
families. The WFC services are available to all families of young
children in Watertown and neighboring communities for free .
