Group Connections
Group Connections are one of the four components of the Parents as Teachers program. Families will learn child development information and meet other families with similarly aged children. Some group connections are for parents/caregivers and their children to attend together. Other group connections are for parents only to learn more about a specific parenting topic. We hope you will join us at a group connection soon!
