Parenting Connection of Monterey County.

All families in Monterey County benefit from equitable access to resources that reduce stigma, eliminate barriers, and provide support towards building positive parent-child interaction and family wellness through education and programming from pregnancy to age five. When caregivers are effectively supported, families thrive and children flourish.

Our Vision

All children flourish when families are embraced with resources and support during pregnancy through age five.

Our Values

We support all people with free and reduced cost services during the early years of family building. We serve our community’s diverse needs, from traditional playgroups, innovative healing circles, peer-supported listening, and provider education. Our programs are informed by the culture, practices, traditions, beliefs, and languages of those we serve.

Families who have been historically marginalized are also those with the higher lifetime risk of adverse family experiences, therefore we have a deliberate focus on serving our low-income Spanish-speaking communities in Monterey County.

We believe that by empowering people with emotional support during early parenthood, together we dismantle systems of oppression, marginalization and racism while standing on the fundamentals of spreading social justice and racial equity to all mothers, all pregnant and birthing people, all caregivers and all families.
