We are a supportive group of parents and caregivers of children in the early elementary age with extra needs who will be connecting virtually to share ideas, resources and a listening ear. Join others with young children in a safe and welcoming atmosphere where you will be amongst friends. The vision of this group is to connect with other caregivers and offer a safe space of sharing the emotional journey of parenting a child who has special health care needs or a disability.
