🌟 Calling all parents of babies ages 0-12 months! 🌟

Brigid Collins Family Support Center's Parenting Academy is excited to bring back another round of Incredible Years® Baby Groups to both Skagit and Whatcom Counties!

🌟 Skagit County: Mondays September 21st-December 14th (11:30 AM to 2 PM) at Burlington Public Library. Includes a light lunch and childcare for older siblings.

🌟 Whatcom Dates: Wednesdays, September 23rd-December 16th (12 to 3 PM) at Brigid Collins Family Support Center Bellingham campus. Includes a light lunch and childcare for older siblings.

The Incredible Years® program helps parents and caregivers feel confident and connected to their little ones as they learn all about physical, social-emotional, and cognitive development; plus, tips on taking care of themselves during that process.

As parents and babies attend the group together, you'll gain support from other parents who are facing the same joys and challenges of raising a baby; plus, free childcare is available on-site for your older kids, and a meal will be provided each week! And all of it is completely FREE thanks to generous community grants.
