PARENT PROGRAMS

Sophia's Hearth Family Center carries at the heart of its mission the support of parents in creating a healthy, nurturing family.

Our programs in Keene support the development of parents' self-confidence and trust in their abilities. We enable families to strengthen themselves through education, reflection, good conversation, and the experience of community with others.

Beginning soon after birth, Parent-Child Playgroups provide parents the opportunity to find supportive, warm companionship with other parents in a group setting facilitated by experienced early childhood educators.

"I've come to Sophia's Hearth Family Center as a student, a mother, a caregiver, a friend; and Sophia's Hearth has welcomed me with as much warmth and encouragement as I ever could have hoped for. My husband, my children, and I have been offered such genuine care here. Though I know I've learned so much here, I don't feel taught, instead I feel supported and acknowledged for the challenges of motherhood and care giving ... Your center has in many ways helped me define myself as a mother, given me strength and self confidence."
