 Who

Since 1978, close to 90,000 individuals in our local community of
Eugene/Springfield and Lane County, Oregon, have benefited from

Highly
stressed parents and parents with little or no stress in their
lives.

What do Birth To Three
Alumni have in common? 
They wanted to learn as much as they could about child development
from a leading parent education organization. They wanted to experience
the support and encouragement of other parents. They
wanted to be the best parents possible. They participated in Birth
To Three parenting groups!
Alumni are important to Birth To Three
Alumni are the best ambassadors for the organization. If you tell
pregnant and newly parenting families about your experiences at
Birth To Three, they will be encouraged to join a group. Confident,
skilled parents and their children contribute to a healthy community,
and that's something that benefits all of us!

Fun Family Ideas
Comments
from some of our Alumni
“Learning
I’m not alone was one of the best things I’ll take away
from this experience.”
“We had a great time, met lots of great people, and had lively
discussions. This has been an uplifting experience.”
“This was a tremendously valuable and worthwhile experience.
There was a good progression, a good balance of materials and discussions
and activities.”
“I learned so much from other parents—about myself and
about my own parenting style—it was so helpful to hear others’
ideas. Group problem solving is perfect for a new parent!”
“This experience has been one of the richest in my life.”
