As a parent, it is important for you to be aware of the environment your child is in when she is away from you. You want to know that she is in safe and capable hands, whether she is at school, in child care, at a friend’s home, or being cared for in your own home. You want to know that she is in an appropriate environment where she can learn and grow, and that she is being nurtured like you nurture her. MCDI information classes will help you be involved in your child’s life even when she (or he) is away from you.
We believe all parents need and deserve the support, skills and information needed to be the best parent they can be. After all, no one gave any of us a parenting guide to help us care for and raise our children from that first newborn year through teen years and beyond. This website aims to provide you with helpful parenting information. Relax, breathe, take things one step at a time and call MCDI for tips and ideas.
We listen to you, answer your questions, and direct you to helping resources.
