Information about the parent education program will also be included. Drop by or RSVP to let us know you’ll be coming to meet with a counselor.

If you have an infant, we are here to support you! Whether you are going to work, pursuing educational goals, or balancing a variety of responsibilities, we know that finding reliable, nurturing care for your infant is a top priority. Choosing the right child care fit for your baby can be a difficult decision. There are a lot of things to consider, such as the cost, hours, and type of child care that is best for your family. You may have questions about the differences between a family child care, a center, an in-home caregiver, a nanny share, or other available options. With so many types of care to choose from, many parents aren’t even sure where to start. At Choosing Infant Care, we’ll discuss each type of care so you can connect with the right provider who fits your individual needs.

Facilitator Judy Kriege brings years of experience in early education and child care referral counseling and is able to provide information and answer your questions or speak to your concerns. This is a great opportunity to meet other new and expectant parents and learn all there is to know about choosing infant care. Babies are welcome to attend!

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 talk about the legal details of being an employer, including your rights and responsibilities. By offering a variety of resources such as tips for establishing wages, how to ensure a fair and safe workplace, and best practices for evaluating employee-employer arrangements, 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. This will be a safe space to learn from other parents who have hired a nanny or in-home child care provider.
