The purpose of this newsletter is to let you know that Karen Niebrugge, Director of Health & Basic Needs Programs at Parenting Place, has moved on to a position with Invest In Kids in Denver.
During her three year tenure at Parenting Place, Karen helped establish the Family Resource Center in Boulder, implemented a new online database system, and rolled out classes such as our Operation Frontline nutrition offerings and the Incredible Years parenting classes. She will be missed.

About Us
Parenting Place is a Place for families to meet people, get help, learn, share and have fun! We provide support and playgroups, educational resources, Spanish language programs, parenting workshops and classes, and assistance accessing community resources. We also maintain a donation closet and food pantry.
Our mission is to relieve isolation, reduce the stress of parenting, and prevent child abuse and neglect by
providing outreach and a place where families can receive support, education, and develop a sense of community. Since 1984, Parenting Place has been supporting families with children pre-natal to five years old in Boulder and Broomfield Counties regardless of economic circumstances. At Parenting Place, we are building a community of confident parents and healthy families.
