Parenting Now is an innovative program in Waterloo Region that is all about creating conversations among parents and other adults…such as grandparents, other family members, neighbours, teachers, coaches, friends….those who care about children and youth.

In our research, we heard that parents learn best from other parents.

This simple yet very profound fact guides everything we do at Parenting Now.
