"The Parent Vision Team helped me to learn about the community, and that parents can help out.  We volunteer to help because NYC gives so much to us, and we can give something back.  My 10 year old son ran for Class President, because he sees his parents participate and he believes that he can be helpful too."

- Jose Rosales, father of three
Parenting Workshops

The NYC knows that when we welcome a child into our program, we're welcoming the entire family. Our families come from all situations and backgrounds, and bring rich cultural diversity to our Center.

As part of our Parent Services Project, a Parent Vision Team has been formed by a hard-working group of volunteer parents. This team brings potlucks, excursions, respite care and specialty guests to the childcare families of the NYC.

If you have a child in attendance at NYC, please come to the next meeting to see if the Parent Vision Team is for you and your family!

Meetings: 2nd Tuesday of each month, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. A complimentary dinner and free childcare are provided.
