What is the Parent Resource Center?

Albemarle County Parent Resource Center is our local effort to link families, schools and communities together to better support children with disabilities in the school setting.  The Albemarle County Parent Resource Center has a goal of fostering a positive relationship between parents and schools in an effort to assist parents with questions and planning, as well as through the provision of resources and training.

PREP Parent Resource Center Coordinator: Stephanie Hicks

The Parent Resource Center is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. In-person consultations are by appointment only. Please call in advance so our PRC coordinator can ensure you have uninterrupted meeting time. Virtual Consultations are also available.  Please call 434-975-9400, option 1 or email shicks@k12albemarle.org for an appointment.
