GOLDSBORO, N.C. — The Partnership for Children of Wayne County has announced the launch of Circle of Parents, a supportive community program designed specifically for families with children ages 0-5. The initiative aims to create a welcoming environment where parents and caregivers can build connections while navigating the early years of child-rearing.
Program Focus and Benefits
Circle of Parents addresses the common challenges faced by families with young children by providing a structured yet informal setting for peer support. The program encourages participants to share experiences, discuss parenting strategies, and find encouragement within a community of like-minded caregivers.
The initiative recognizes that raising young children can be both rewarding and challenging, offering parents an opportunity to connect with others who understand their daily experiences. Participants can ask questions, share concerns, and celebrate milestones together in a judgment-free environment.
