What People Are Saying About PRC
“I feel like I’ll be a better parent to my children by applying what I’ve learned in this class. Dan is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and has great advice on any topic I needed help with. I like the way the road map made for a customized experience based on my needs.”
“When we came to Austin, we became better connected to the community after my parents asked for support from the Welcome Center. They helped us with what we needed, and also provided fun things to do in the community.”
“My experience with the PRC was great. It taught me how to become a better parent and learn from the mistakes that I have made. It was challenging knowing that I had made so many mistakes as a parent but it was also rewarding knowing that I could learn from them and better myself as a parent.”
