If you missed our FAMILY FUN FRIDAY today, we shared the story When We Are Kind by Monique Gray Smith. Feel free to share this story with your child at home by listening to the author's reading at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NY-tdAwxiU
Positive Options offers support for pregnancy, labor and delivery, parenting, coparenting/single parenting, healthy relationships, life skills and so much more.
We have mentors available to listen, give encouragement, and walk alongside as we travel
this parenting road together. You can earn points to spend in our baby boutique by taking pregnancy or parenting classes. We typically have items such as diapers, formula, baby/toddler clothes as well as larger baby items. We want to give you the best preparation possible for the arrival of your little one.
