Triple "P" Parenting

We believe that parents are the most important teachers in their children's lives.  Together, you and your child create a sense of roots and belonging by being this unique group, called "family".  

We recognize that every family needs help of support at some time.  At other times, you are able to give support and help to others.  Our parenting programs gather families together to help learning through sharing.

We cover a number of topics in creative and fun ways.  We use discussion, videos, handouts, overheads, and hands-on activities to make this information as meaningful as possible.

Tell us about your family.  We will then direct you to the parenting group that best meets your needs.  

There are no fees for these programs
