You are your child’s first and most important teacher–but parenting isn’t always easy, especially with challenges like job uncertainty, health concerns, or childcare struggles. Thrive offers free, in-home support through the nationally recognized Parents as Teachers program, backed by years of research and real-life experience, to help families from pregnancy through kindergarten strengthen parenting skills and support their children’s healthy development.
Parents receive consistent, one-on-one guidance during the most important early years, with support tailored to each family and built on their strengths. The focus is on creating secure parent-child relationships, encouraging positive parenting, and laying the foundation for school readiness.
