ReplyDeleteGreat site! I've never heard of it before. I also work with predominantly African American children and to have a resource that specifically caters to their needs is great.
I love the Parent Empowerment Project. I am always seeking additional services to make my preschool parents the best that they can be. It sounds like a well rounded program covering all the important basics and topics of being a parent.
