Bridge Street School, Northampton
The Parent Cafe will be held Tuesdays, March 11, 18 and 25 from 5:00pm to 7:30pm at the Bridge Street School, Northampton. They are open to all parents and guardians from the Northampton area The focus is on families with young children. Dinner and childcare will be provided.
The Cafe series are sponsored by the Northampton Public Schools, Northampton/Hadley CFCE, Sunnyside Child Care, Northampton Parents Center, and Northampton Area Pediatrics - a group of parents and professionals dedicated to strengthening families.
Parent Cafe series are a unique way for parents to learn about raising children who will thrive and learn how to take care of themselves when faced with all of life’s challenges. Being a great parent is part natural and part learned. Parents will talk about every aspect of parenting and gather support from each other as they face the challenges of raising children. The Café-like environment offers a time for parents to talk with each other and not just listen to a speaker. The table discussions will be guided by a table host.
Families will eat dinner together and then the children will be cared for by experienced adults while the parents meet, sip coffee and discuss topics.
Parents are encouraged to attend all three sessions since discussion topics build from one session to the next. Part of the value of the Cafe series is making connections and building a support network.
We are working on prizes (gift cards, books, toys, etc.) for all parents who participate.
