Intensive parenting
support classes are held at the Nurture Center each Tuesday
evening. This informal, but planned time, gives expectant
parents and new moms an overview of topics from child development
and parent-child interaction to health issues and care
of the newborn. It also provides a forum for often-young
mothers and mothers-to-be to ask questions about pregnancy,
childbirth or other issues that arise with their infants
and growing toddlers.
On the second
Tuesday the parenting class shifts so that parents can
engage in a family-building, creative event that sends
them home delighted with the fruit of their own hands — something
to share with their children. We began with blanket-making,
homemade play dough, a baby’s first picture frame-making
and ongoing scrap booking so that parents are enabled to
chronicle the beauty of a child’s unfolding life.
Classes are on
Tuesday nights from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
