Care of Southeastern Michigan Testimonials

I highly recommend all parents take the parenting class offered by care. I received so much knowledge, useful knowledge. The instructor shared real life stories that gave great insight to positive parenting. The instructor was informative, understanding and compassionate. She was great at helping each of us individually with our personal parenting struggles. At the end of our session each week, I walked out with a new hope and a new skill. It helped to build my confidence as a parent.
