St. Mary Parenting Resource Center offers families of all communities a supportive and
nurturing environment. Assisted by trained and certified parenting educators, parents are helped to evaluate their individual needs
and goals of parenting. Parenting educators provide education on the
vital issues of parenting today and offer guidance on how to
create healthy patterns of parenting styles and capabilities.
The center offers a
variety of services to parents including parenting workshops, and weekly parent-and-child
groups.
The
St. Mary Parenting Center is located in the Child Development
Center building at the rear of the St. Mary campus. Parenting
Resource Centers also have been established in the Neshaminy School
District, Bensalem School District, and Council Rock School District, as a
cooperative community effort. Each center offers a variety of services to the
families of the community, including parenting workshops, weekly parent-and-child groups,
and "Puppets for Children," and is staffed by a certified parenting
educator.
The Parenting centers sponsor an annual "Night Out with an Author." Highly acclaimed
parenting authors have been featured through these successful seminars. This program allows
families to come together to meet and learn from expert parenting
authors.
The cost of the parenting program is $5.00 per
family per session. The Play’N’Share program is free. The puppet shows are $3.00
per family. The parenting centers offer different workshops for summer, fall and
spring, quarterly parenting brochures are mailed out to the families of the
community that highlight the pending parenting programs.
