Foster Parent Training

Foster parents are required to have a set number of training hours and topics each year. Once a month, Parents by Choice provides training, childcare, and dinner to help our parents fulfill that requirement. 

Our staff and volunteers provide lots of fun games and activities for the children to enjoy, while the parents are in training. There's a rock wall, video games, play dough, card games, board games, bingo, basketball, and much more! During the holiday, we provide costume contests for the kids to participate in as well as having the Fire Department come out and show off their trucks. 
The kids have a blast and can't wait until our next meeting. 

Recently, we started providing Teen Trainings to help the teenagers learn important life skills and scholarships/grants that are available for them. We hope to be able to enhance this into taking the teenagers on college tours and other fun activities. 

Our foster parents enjoy learning and revisiting topics like positive discipline, trauma informed care, gender diversity, and much more!
