Parenting Program
Strengthening Families
You are your child’s first and most important teacher!
Neighborhood House’s Parenting Program helps parents enhance their parenting skills, so you are better able to support your children’s healthy development and education. We provide culturally and developmentally appropriate services for families with children of all ages.

Meet a Program Participant
Mohamud, a father of three from Somalia, has participated in the Parenting Program for the past year. Since joining the program, he has attended several workshops on school readiness, taken ESL courses at the library, and gone on many field trips, including to OMSI, the Oregon Zoo, and the Children’s Museum. He has so enjoyed the experience that he organized a walking group for fathers, giving other dads the opportunity to socialize with each other, exercise, and engage in their children’s learning. Mohamud loves spending time at the library with his children, encouraging them to read. He also participates in other Neighborhood House programs and community events.
