Circle of Parents

Circle of Parents^® provides a friendly, supportive environment where anyone in a parenting role can openly discuss the successes and challenges of raising children. Groups meet weekly, are free of charge, offer support, and foster an open exchange of ideas, information, and resources. Circles are open to anyone caregiving children and to families of all types.

Give Yourself the Gift of Adult Time

Join us for a facilitated, supportive, parent-directed conversation group where you can connect with other parents in a relaxed setting. Share as much—or as little—as you’d like about your parenting journey: successes and struggles, lessons learned, resources you’ve found helpful (or are still looking for), and more. This is a space to learn from one another and feel heard. Open to all caregivers—parents, grandparents, foster parents, and others who are raising or caring for children.

Family Dinner & Childcare

Enjoy dinner with your family from 5:30-6:00pm. Childcare will be provided from 6:00-7:30pm for all children. (No digital devices–phones, tablets, laptops–as we’re not able to supervise screen time.)
