We hear it often: “It takes a village to raise a child,” and there is certainly a lot of truth in that. But at Nature and Nurture we believe it also takes a village to raise a parent. Parenting is one of life’s greatest joys, but brings with it a number of challenges and questions; doubts that often only become stronger in isolation. Our enrichment and support groups seek to provide an open, inviting, non-judgmental environment where parents can come as they are and bring their joys, triumphs, and concerns. Nature and Nurture’s enrichment and support groups are always facilitated by a prenatal and/or early childhood professional and educator who is there for you. Ample time is provided for questions and answers, group discussion, as well as an educational component around a relevant topic for the group’s parent and child development. Our groups are divided into ages and stages of parenthood and child development, so that families are meeting other families at the same stage of parenthood, and little ones are given the opportunity to socialize with peers in a safe and small environment. Whether you are newly pregnant and have some questions, just brought your baby home and are not quite feeling like yourself, or trying to deal with a newly turned toddler with lots of opinions, we are here for you and we’d love to support you in any way we can!
