This evidence-based prevention curriculum features activities to foster positive parenting skills with nurturing behaviors, promote healthy physical and emotional development, and teach appropriate role and developmental expectations. This is offered one-on-one during home visits and at select times throughout the year through virtual mini-classes.
In some counties we offer Nurturing Parent classes in person. This 14-week program involves parents and children and includes activities and an evening meal.
