Our Place: Helping Families Thrive from the Start

Welcoming a baby into the world is a joyous, life-changing moment – but this new adventure can bring along many questions and challenges. Becoming a parent – whether your first child or your third – can feel overwhelming, especially for families with inadequate support systems, parenting knowledge or limited resources.

Our Place is here to help families through an array of parenting support and safety education. We provide parents with essential one-on-one support, car seat safety education, and group classes, helping them develop a strong foundation where their child can thrive in a safe, nurturing, and healthy home.
