Parent Education

Parenting is the hardest job in the world. Like any job, a little training helps a lot. The Family Support Center offers a variety of parent education and support opportunities. Because we know families today need every dollar, we believe no family should be turned away for inability to pay and, therefore, have scholarships available. Most of our parenting classes include free childcare, activities and a snack. We feature the “best practice” evidence- based Nurturing Parenting Curriculum, free Power Parenting Classes in partnership with the Hands on Children’s Museum, Community Cafés and more. Whether you have a newborn or a teenager, we probably have a class for you. Click here for a list of classes currently being offered by the Family Support Center.

“Being able to talk in a group with other parents helped me to understand my child and made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this. This is the first place that I really felt like I belonged.” --A participant in the Parent Education Program
