CIRCLE OF PARENTS

The Circle of Parents program is a free, supportive group where parents and caregivers come together to share experiences, challenges, and successes in raising children. It’s not a class — it’s a safe, welcoming space where families learn from one another, build friendships, and find encouragement through connection.

Every meeting offers the chance to talk openly, gain fresh perspectives, and discover practical parenting ideas in a judgment-free environment.
