Parents as Teachers
Parents as Teachers is a free, evidence-based, comprehensive home-visiting program providing services to families with children from prenatal through kindergarten. Parents as Teachers build strong communities, thriving families, and children who are healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
Group Connections
Group Connections offer opportunities for parents and children to come together to participate in a variety of hands-on learning activities and connect with other families. Parent Workshops provide parents with information on a variety of topics from potty training to improving parent-child relationships.
Classes & Workshops
Parenting Classes aim to improve relationships between parents and their children by teaching parents how to deal with the daily responsibilities of maintaining a home and family, in positive ways. Previously we have offered Love and Logic Parenting and Nurturing Parenting classes.
