Parenting classes cover back-to-school, anger management
PORTSMOUTH When its time for back-to-school, preschool or child care, being prepared helps your child to be more successful and makes family life less hectic. Thats why Families First is offering a Back to School (or Preschool, or Child Care) class this month, along with other parenting classes, parent groups and family programs.
