Parenting isn’t easy, but we can help.
Welcome to the Claris Health Parenting Support Program! We are available to you and your family from pregnancy all the way until your child turns five. Through exciting classes (Childbirth Preparation, Potty Training, Sleep Training, Safety classes, Developmental Stages, and Ways to Have Fun with Your Child), we are here for you every step of the way. In addition to our free classes, we offer one on ones where you are able to sit down with a counselor and discuss any specific parenting questions you may have. Finally, we are here for your material needs. Diapers and wipes are available to you twice a month in addition to admittance into our Baby Store, full of clothing, gear, and other necessities.
