PITCH (Parents If Talking Can Help) Program

PITCH – Parents If Talking Can Help is a program designed to support Flance families by providing monthly topics and activities that may include parenting tips, networking opportunities and information about early childhood education. Our goal is to encourage and empower families to be confident, loving and effective caregivers for their young ones.

Each month we will provide families with three resources: a Touchpoint, Link & Think, and an Event.

  • Touchpoint: quick informational pieces we will hand out in person, but will also have a digital copy below.

  • Link & Think: resources we encourage families to watch and provide feedback on what they learned. Those who watch & provide feedback may be eligible for a gift card.

  • Events: where families can foster relationships with other families.

January PITCH Program

  • Parental Self-Care + Literacy: Wednesday, January 15th, 3PM to 4:30PM at Flance

    Join us for this afternoon of focus on helping parents better care for themselves and, in turn, better connect with their children. This event will feature elements of yoga, relaxation techniques, aroma therapy and more — plus FREE literacy supports (books and visual aids) to enhance your understanding and practice of self-care.

    Infant Massage Training: Wednesday, January 29th, 3:30PM to 4:30PM in the Flance Community Room

    This FREE infant massage training session is open to the community as well as Flance families. Just bring your infant and a blanket! The class is designed to teach parents and caregivers gentle techniques that promote bonding, support relaxation and aid in relieving common discomforts like gas and colic. Flance teachers (all certified through International Loving Touch®) will guide the class. Email Ms. Ismeta (iomerovic@flancecenter.org) to sign up. Please share with friends!
