Partnering with Parents

Parenting can be hard. We partner with parents and caregivers to make it easier through a parent support program that includes one-on-one visits at the family home or other community location twice a month, monthly family group activities, community events, and referrals to other related supports and resources.

We support parents from pregnancy until their child enters preschool or kindergarten to help parents grow as their child's first teacher, meet other parents, and get connected to needed services.

If you are a parent in Oak Park or River Forest looking for parenting support, learn more about our home visiting services, group events, lactation support, developmental checks, and parenting classes.
