Parenting Texts
Parents who sign up for Text Support will receive a monthly alert for useful resources. Resources include activities and events in our community, useful technical tools, important deadline reminders, program enrollment, and much more.
Community Events
Parenting isn’t easy. We partner with many organizations in Summit County to provide a variety of offerings. We encourage parents to participate in workshops, events, courses, and more. Subsequently, parents learn techniques and strategies to give their children the best start to life.
One of the most valuable learning experiences from our activities is the opportunity to connect with other parents. For instance, giving parents a chance to discuss strategies and challenges that other families are also facing. Workshops and events are offered throughout the year. Please look us up on Facebook for constant updates on activities near you. Please contact us or for more information.
