100 Years from Now it will not matter what my
bank account was, the type of house I lived in, or the kind of
car I drove, but the world may be different because I was
important in the life of a CHILD!

What others are saying:
"Before we started, yelling was our tool of choice. I have
realized that that doesn't work. My son signed us up for the
program- he told me we had to do it because he didn't want to be
yelled at anymore. Now that we've done the program, I'm not
yelling and he's giving hugs and kisses. The childcare was so
important. I couldn't have done it without the childcare."
-Mom, Nurturing Program
"I was
raised in a traditional family- very hierarchical parenting- and I
just assumed that was how my family would be run. I assumed that
my kids would just do what I say. I'm learning that that's not
working for us and I'm really glad that I could come and
participate."
