For Providers | Mid-Valley Parenting

MVP Funded Class Series

Mid-Valley Parenting funds partner organizations to offer series-based parenting education classes. Partners complete a class interest form, sign an MOU, list their class on our site, complete evaluations, and submit an invoice. MVP can also support your class with childcare coordination, marketing, and venue assistance.

MVP Funded Workshops & Activities

We also partner on one-time workshops and family engagement events that promote parent education, with funding support of up to $300 plus help with childcare, flyer development, and venues.

Parent Educators

Parent educators are trained in evidence-based curricula — from Nurturing Fathers to The Incredible Years — and then paid to provide series-based programs throughout the year at community locations across both counties. If you're interested in becoming a parent educator, we'd love to hear from you.

Child Care Providers

We hire childcare providers to support our classes and events — from one-time events to 7–12 week series commitments, primarily evenings and weekends. Providers must be at least 16 years old; providers 18 and older must pass a background check.

Parent Education Mini-Grants
