Testimonials
Growing Ourselves and Our Chidren was such a great investment. The weekly courses gave my husband and I the confidence to be first time parents. It allowed the space to talk through what we were seeing in our daughter's development, and what to expect in milestones to come. There is a perfect blend of education and support from the program that gave us the confidence as parents to facilitate her growth and be supportive to each other in parenthood. As a new parent there is an overwhelming amount of information, most of the time unsolicited, targeting you. It was so refreshing knowing I was working with professionals, in a safe environment, tailored to the needs of my family. I would recommend Growing Ourselves and Our Children to all parents. It is a great way to ground yourself, your family, and feel prepared on your journey through parenthood.
