Every parent wants their child to be healthy and successful. Children who grow up in families where parents are resilient; socially connected; knowledgeable about parenting and child development; have concrete support in times of need and, promote social and emotional competence in their children will have healthy outcomes.

Parents who understand the typical course of child development are more likely to be able to nurture their child's healthy development. Once a month, parents are invited to attend programs such as infant massage;nurturing healthy sexual development, toilet teaching;nutrition, and other useful parenting topics. Parents can also use the lending library and borrow books, DVDs and resource materials. Informal parent-driven discussion groups give parents opportunities to share their experiences and learn with other parents. Parent-child learning opportunities help parents understand their own child by observing other children of similar age.

Parents benefit from a strong network of extended family, friends, neighbors and community. The Resource Center provides opportunities to belong to a network of parents and develop a community that helps each other out and provides fun and friendship.
From time to time, families need concrete supports such as economic resources, social services or access to health care. The Resource Center can provide information and referral to professional services to help parents meet their basic needs and achieve positive outcomes for themselves and their children.
