The center has a lending library with a variety of books and videotapes on parenting issues. Additionally, the FRC offers three-hour morning and afternoon preschool classes for three and four-year-olds.

The School Readiness classroom provides a high-quality full-day childcare program for 16 Branford children and uses a sliding scale.

Parent education programs, literacy programs, evening playgroups and story hours are available to all who use FRC.
