Our children's programs are targeted at those from newborn to age six and include classes for parents and infants, classes for parents and toddlers, drop in play programs, classes that promote advanced skill development in literacy, science and math, as well as licensed nursery school. Many targeted programs exist to meet the growing needs of our community, including families with special needs, twins or multiples, programs exclusively for fathers, and classes in French, Spanish and American Sign Language.
Our adult programs strive to increase parenting knowledge, skills and confidence. Recognizing that the well being of children is fundamentally dependent on their family environmnet, we offer parenting education courses, access to knowledgeable and caring experts, a parenting resource library, referrals to community supports, and a meeting place for families to form friendships and networks.
