ABOUT

the Parenting Center of Upper Merion

The Parenting Center provides families with a strong foundation for nurturing and developing their children to their fullest potential; for assisting their children to enter school with a readiness to learn; and for preparing their children to be productive contributors to the community at large.

The Parenting Center provides families a safe, caring environment for learning, growth and change. Families are strengthened by acquiring essential skills and effective principles for successful parenting. In our center, parents have the opportunity to learn about their children's needs.
