Parenting is the most important, the most challenging and most rewarding job you will ever have! As is the case for any difficult job with a high reward – you will need “on-the-job training.” Although the birth of a newborn can fill the spirit with excitement, anticipation and even fear, we often hear parents say, “I had no idea what I was getting myself into!”

Each child is as unique as the challenges we face in parenting them. Guardian House recognizes the struggles that most parents face and is focused on providing support and understanding for all individuals who care for a child.

Attending parenting education classes does not mean that you are a terrible parent or that you can’t learn and grow in your parenting skills.  Just the opposite is true! By enrolling in a parenting education class demonstrates that you highly value your children and are committed to strengthening the family bond that you have with them. We know that parent education promotes well-being and builds stronger families and communities.
