Proud Linden Parent Program
The Proud Linden Parent Program is a free program for parents or caregivers of children ages 2 to 8 living in the Linden neighborhood.
We are building a community where Linden parents and caregivers can connect with each other and learn skills and techniques for raising young children.
What Is Covered in the Program?
We review a new topic each week during the 11-week program. Some topics include:
- Parental stress
- Problem solving with other adults in our kids’ lives
- Say what you mean and mean what you say
- Giving praise and encouragement
- Routines and traditions
- Child-centered time
During our time together, we watch videos of real parents and their kids and discuss, learn new strategies, role play and problem solve together.

The program meets for up to 2 hours per week for 11 weeks, followed by a graduation ceremony.
