Parenting would be such a different experience without NCPG. It has been so helpful to have access to caring and knowledgeable teachers that are experts in the age of your child. Every class has topics so specific to what I am going through! My NCPG classmates have been such a helpful group of parents - it has shown me that “you are not alone” on this parenting journey!

Joining NCPG has been an incredibly enriching experience for me. As a first-time mom, I found the resources and support invaluable in preparing for parenthood. The community of parents I connected with through NCPG was especially beneficial, as we were all navigating similar stages of our parenting journey. It was comforting to share experiences, advice, and support with others on the same timeline. The knowledge and confidence I gained from being part of this group have been instrumental in my journey into motherhood. I highly recommend NCPG to any new or expecting parents looking for a supportive and informative community.

North Central Parent Group aka the village that helps me navigate parenthood! NCPG has been with me and my family through every phase helping us learn, grow, and understand our children and family dynamics. We started our family during the pandemic time, NCPG was influential during a monumental time of transition and provided community when it felt very isolating. The classes, teachers, and fellow parents have helped me grow in many ways and continue to build my confidence as a parent. The things you learn are not only helpful in the moment (at the appropriate developmental stage) but also relevant as your children get older and you grow your family. I’m grateful for the community, knowledge shared, sounding board, laughs, and friends.

Joining NCPG was one of the best decisions I’ve made since becoming a mom. I moved to Phoenix while pregnant with my first child. I heard from multiple Phoenicians with older children that I had to join NCPG as it was pivotal in their parenting. They were right; NCPG has given me an amazing community of moms that are just a text message away for advice and encouragement when the analysis paralysis of parenting gets to be too much. The friendships and education that I found through NCPG are invaluable.

North Central Parenting Group has been a lifesaver for me! Being a mom can be amazing, but it can also be overwhelming, especially when facing new challenges with your little one. What I love most about NCPG is the incredible sense of community. I’m surrounded by other moms going through similar stages at the same time. It’s incredibly comforting to know I’m not alone in the “craziness” of raising kids! The group discussions on hot topics are fantastic. We share experiences and learn from each other, which makes navigating these early years so much easier. But what truly sets NCPG apart are the teachers. They’re not just experts – they’re moms too. This unique perspective allows them to offer professional advice while also understanding the emotional side of parenting. I always leave feeling empowered and equipped to handle whatever comes my way. I’m so grateful for the supportive community and insightful guidance I’ve found at NCPG. I can’t wait for another year to grow alongside these amazing moms and their children.

The education, resources, friendships, and community that NCPG has brought my way have made motherhood more manageable, relatable, and enjoyable! I look forward to every class, social breakfast, and every gathering with my classmates. Such a valuable organization to join for parents in our community!

I joined NCPG just when I needed it most. This organization gave me the best community and safe space as we grew our family and I transitioned to be a stay-at-home mom. I look forward to our classes because they give me an opportunity to catch up with friends and learn how to be the best mom to my two little boys. I also feel like I am in the thick of motherhood with my classmates, and because of NCPG, I have an incredible support system that understands exactly what I am going through. NCPG provides priceless opportunities to invest in myself that I do not think I would find without the organization. I highly recommend membership to everyone.

I feel so blessed to have joined NCPG. Being involved with the organization has made me a better parent. The education over the years has been invaluable and some of the friendships that I have gained will be treasured forever. My favorite part of NCPG is knowing that I am never alone in my parenting journey. While being a mom is the greatest gift, we all know that it’s not easy. Knowing that I have such a strong, loving and non-judgement community around me makes the challenging parts of parenting so much easier. The conversation in my class is always so open and honest and the class structure is great because everything you are learning is developmentally appropriate for the stage of parenting that you are in. I couldn’t imagine not having NCPG in my life.

Joining NCPG has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as a mom. The journey of motherhood is undoubtedly challenging, but NCPG has provided a supportive and nurturing environment where I can seek advice, and connect with other moms who share similar experiences. Through this organization, I have met an incredible group of women who have become an invaluable part of my life. I am forever grateful for the sense of community and the wealth of knowledge I’ve gained.

Joining NCPG was one of the best decisions I could have ever made as a parent. As a new mom, there is so much information out there and navigating this new chapter can be extremely overwhelming. Having a class with an experienced instructor that covers a wide variety of developmental topics has been so helpful and made me feel prepared for all of these changes happening as my son grows. Our newborn instructor always made herself available for us to ask questions and get her expert advice, which was an incredible resource as a new parent. The friendships and relationships that I have built through my NCPG class are ones that I am so grateful for on a daily basis. Whether it’s asking a question about sleep training, scheduling a group playdate, or getting advice, having support from a community of women that are in the exact same stage of life has been invaluable. We have done so many different group activities outside of class. I genuinely look forward to our outings and NCPG meetings because we all have so much fun together. I know that I have met lifelong friends through NCPG.
