Parenting is a challenging but rewarding experience. Most parents would honestly tell you - "I worry if I'm doing the right thing?"
What if you had an "early childhood coach" who knows all about child development, can provide parenting education and has lots of resources you can use? And best of all it doesn't cost anything for her services. That us --that's the Parenting Cottage. This is just one of the many programs you can explore at the Parenting Cottage. Come by our Open House and see what we offer.

Building a strong community by first building strong families.
