To offer quality parenting classes and provide a forum for parents to share ideas and form lifelong friendships.

Yes! We understand that attending class on Wednesday mornings can be challenging. We believe the education and friendships you gain by joining NCPG are invaluable, even if you have to miss some of the classes.

Yes, we offer on-site childcare from 8:45 to 11:45 am. We provide a nursery for non-walking babies under 14 months, an indoor playroom for toddlers, a craft/project room for preschool-aged children, and an outdoor playground for all ages.

Created in 2023, PEK supports parents of neurodivergent children. It meets at 11:30 am, allowing you to attend both NCPG and PEK classes. The 2024-2025 PEK membership fee is $175 for NCPG members and $250 for non-members, including 9 classes taught by experienced instructors.

Our teachers range from pediatric nurses to early childhood educators, nationally certified counselors, and parent coaches. They are also moms, providing both professional advice and relatable emotional support.

Parents are grouped by the age or grade of their oldest child, ensuring they face similar challenges and can learn from each other.

Each class has a unique curriculum tailored to the age and developmental stage of your oldest child.

The developmental differences between babies are larger than those between toddlers or school-aged children. Smaller age ranges allow instructors to tailor content to the group's specific needs.

Starting in Pre-K/Jr. Kindergarten, class placement is based on the child's grade in school. Your child must be enrolled in the specific grade to join that class.

Yes, you can join anytime during the year if space is available. Contact membership@ncpgaz.org for a free trial class or more information on membership.

Classes range from 10 to 30 participants, varying each year and class.

We host a fall or winter festival, a spring festival, and an annual fundraising event with a silent auction and raffle. Visit our Annual Events page (under Membership) for more details. Each class is also encouraged to plan additional outings.
