Connection

Our Family Programs give parents and caregivers the tools, confidence, and community they need to help children grow, learn, and thrive — from birth through age five.

Don’t have childcare to attend class? We have you covered! Free childcare is available for parent education programs.

Parenting Education

Learn, Grow, and Thrive Together

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual — but we can help! Our free parenting classes offer practical tools and guidance for families with young children. Each course is designed to build positive parenting skills, strengthen family relationships, and reduce stress at home.

Play Groups & Open Play

Learning Through Play

Play is how young children learn best — and our playgroups make it fun for everyone! Families meet weekly to explore creative play, make friends, and practice social and emotional skills in a supportive environment.
