Finding child care for your infant or toddler is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. There are a lot of things to consider, such as the cost, hours, and type of child care that is the best for your family. There are many questions about the difference between a family child care, a day care center, and all of your options. We’ll discuss each type of care so you can connect with the right provider. We’ll also cover how to screen and interview potential providers.

Note: There is no child care provided for any of our parenting classes, but babies in arms are welcome.

If you’re thinking of hiring a nanny, then this is the workshop for you! At this event, Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers Network will discuss the details of being an employer, including your rights and responsibilities. By offering a variety of resources such as tips for hiring and interviewing, establishing wages and a work agreement, how to ensure a fair and safe workplace, and the laws surrounding nanny employment, the network will set you up with all the tools you need. They’ll also offer ideas on how to create a positive, long-term relationship with your employee. You will have a chance to talk about your own experiences, ask questions, and share concerns.

Note: There is no child care provided for any of our parenting classes, but babies in arms are welcome.
