Got kids? Then North Central Parent Group is here to help! NCPG offers bi-weekly parenting classes led by child development experts. An open discussion format provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, explore parenting techniques and promote friendships through play groups.

    Classes are divided according to the child’s age, from pregnancy to pre-kindergarten. The next classes are scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8 and 22, at Church of the Beatitudes, 555 W. Glendale Ave. The first class is free for newcomers.
