Learn as you go

Parenting education can help with pregnancy, newborn care, safety, relationships, and child development. Care Net's parenting classes are called Earn While You Learn, and the points you earn can be used in our Baby Boutique for clothes, diapers, and gear. Ask which current classes, mentoring, or material resources may be available.

Identify your support people

Support may come from a partner, friend, relative, church, health professional, or community program. Be specific about the help you may need and when you may need it.
