Nurturing Parenting
This is an evidence based parenting curriculum involving both the parents and the children. Due to the resources and time commitment necessary it is limited to a certain number of families.
Nurturing Parent classes are a very intense, 14 week program involving both parents and their children in classes, activities, and an evening meal. Because of the number of staff needed, the length of the classes, and the cost of the program, Baby Bear Hugs has elected to hold 2 classes per year, rotating among the counties we serve.
