The Early Childhood Parenting Center

The mission of the Early Childhood Parenting Center is to help parents and early childhood professionals facilitate a healthy early developmental period for young children, thus laying for them a solid foundation on which to build mentally and emotionally throughout life.

The philosophy is based on two core beliefs: that early attachment for infants and toddlers is essential for normal development, and that the patterns laid out in the first few years of life determine what happens later on, with families as well as children.

Parent's Day is Sunday


This Sunday is a day of recognition for the parents in our lives (and possibly us)! Let the kids try their hands at breakfast, encourage them to allow you a few extra minutes of morning sleep or have them plan a fun activity to do as a family. Parent's Day is also about responsible parenting and celebrating the moments when we learn from our children how to be better parents. Of course, the day is also dedicated to recognizing the many types of parenting relationships.

Kid & Parent Fun
