The Parent Place - Official “Teaching Positive Parenting” is our mission at The Parent Place.

We provide parenting classes and support groups designed to equip parents with the necessary tools to handle stressful situations that may arise when raising a child. Parents who can cope with the stresses of everyday life, as well an occasional crisis, have resilience; they have the flexibility and inner strength necessary to bounce back when things are not going well reducing the chance of abuse in the home. At The Parent Place we strive to strengthen and improve parenting skills that lead to happier, healthier families and a safer, more stable community in which children can grow and learn.
