Parenting

Considering parenting?

If the idea of parenting seems impossible, you’d be surprised at the many services and resources available to you. A child will bring tremendous joy into your life, but it’s also hard work.

If you choose to parent your child, there’s no doubt that your life will be very different. Wonderful, as well as challenging.

Care Center

You will love our mentoring program if you choose to parent your child! Our care center is a long-term mentoring program where you participate in the Earn While You Learn program, earning “Mommy Bucks” as you go along.

You can spend your “Mommy Bucks” at our “Mommy Boutique” on items for your pregnancy or your baby, such as baby clothes, diapers, maternity clothes, car seats, strollers, and cribs.

You will meet every week for one hour with a mentor to journey with you through this pregnancy until your baby is nine months old.

Dads Can Participate Too

Dads are more than welcome to participate in our Earn While You Learn program too. If he attends the program with you, he’ll also earn “Bucks” for baby items.
