What is the Cornerstone Parenting and Education Program?

The Cornerstone Parenting and Education Program provides educational support, encouragement, and practical resources for individuals preparing for pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. Through the BrightCourse program, participants learn parenting and life skills while receiving guidance from Parenting Coaches.

What is BrightCourse?

BrightCourse is an educational program within the Cornerstone Parenting and Education Program where participants complete lessons on pregnancy, parenting, relationships, and life skills. Participants earn points that can be used in the Baby Boutique to obtain baby items.

Do I receive baby supplies through the program?

Is there a cost to participate?

What if I’m not sure I’m ready to be a parent?
