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.
