What is the purpose of Foster Parents' Night Out (FPNO)? Respite. Retention. Relationship. FPNO provides a break for foster (resource) parents one evening a month so they can enjoy some time to care for themselves while trained volunteers care for their children. And, while providing support for foster (resource) parents, these monthly events give children the opportunity to build healthy relationships with other adults who care for them in a safe, nurturing environment. What will children be doing at FPNO? • Delicious snacks and dinner. The menus are always kid friendly. • Games for active play. This can include basketball or other gym activities like obstacle courses or relay games. • Games for quiet play. This can include Legos, Play Doh, board games, card games, puzzles and bingo. • Arts and crafts. Kids create a variety of fun and simple projects to take home. • Special events. This can include things like a music concert, karaoke contest, talent show or special guest • Reading books. Bring a favorite storybook for a volunteer to read to your child. • Relationship building. Elementary and older children receive lots of attention and have the opportunity to build healthy relationships with other children and adults • Nursery aged children enjoy a safe play space with lots of one-on-one attention. Babies are held and cuddled. Contact your ODHS certifier for more information and a referral to the next FPNO in Curry.
