Overall Experience   
The Family Center in Orem is excellent.

I am a recipient of volunteer service at the Family Center (PIRC) in Orem. The services provided there are excellent. They help me know what things to teach my daughter to prepare for school and they provide classes and information to help me be a better parent. posted on November 16, 2005
