Founded in 1984, the Rutland County Parent-Child Center (RCPCC) helps people transform their lives through a comprehensive, 2Gen Whole Family approach. Our unique, community-centered framework integrates a variety of programs designed to strengthen and uplift our local community. At RCPCC, we aim to ensure every person feels valued and supported. By providing resources, education, and a network of support, we enable families to be successful.
We recognize that with high-quality programming, children and families thrive. RCPCC focuses on equipping families with resources while working alongside families to remove barriers. Together, we co-create opportunities in education, wellness, and economic stability. Each year, we support over 1,800 individuals through our diverse and transformative programs.
What is the Whole Family/2 Gen Approach?
The Whole Family Approach — also known as the Two-Generation (2Gen) Approach — is a way of working with families that addresses the needs of both children and the adults in their lives, together. Rather than focusing on one part of the family at a time, 2Gen programs provide coordinated support for the entire family, recognizing that parents’ success and children’s well-being are deeply connected.
At RCPCC, this means offering services like early childhood education, accessible programming, parenting support, and access to basic needs — all in one place, and all designed to help families grow stronger together. By supporting parents and children simultaneously, we create more opportunities for long-term success, stability, and resilience.
The Rutland County Parent-Child Center is a community-based, private non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and meeting the needs of children, youth, and families.
