Parenting

Is Parenting Right for Me?

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, bringing joy, love, and fulfillment. At the same time, it can feel overwhelming and bring new challenges. It’s normal to have questions and concerns—parenting is hard work, but it can also be deeply rewarding.

Things to Consider

Before deciding to parent, it can help to reflect on a few important questions:• Am I financially ready to care for a child?

• Do I have a strong support system?
• Are there any challenges or concerns I want to address before becoming a parent?

Remember—you don’t have to figure it all out alone. We’re here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Support for Parents

Parenting Classes

Our parenting classes give expecting parents the tools and confidence to care for their children, from newborns to toddlers and beyond. Topics include feeding, safety, child development, and more. Completing classes also gives you access to our baby boutique, where you can earn baby essentials.

Material Support

Raising a child can be expensive, and we’re here to help. Through our Earn While You Learn program, parents can receive baby necessities while completing parenting classes. Reach out to learn more about our programs and how we can help you provide for your child.
