It's April, and we are Talking About Our Worries! This Talking is Teaching theme supports Safe Harbor Children's Advocacy Center's "Child Abuse Prevention Month ".






The West Michigan Perinatal Quality Collaborative (WMPQC), in collaboration with Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI), invites parents —who’ve given birth or experienced a pregnancy in the last 3 years—to share stories of their pregnancy and childbirth experiences in just six words. We welcome stories from moms, dads, and partners that represent the full range of experiences – good, bad, happy, sad, and everything in between. If you have a story of pregnancy or infant loss, we welcome you to share your story if you are comfortable doing so.

URGENT! Playgroup has been cancelled at the Ransom District Library this morning due to the furnace not working. We are so sorry for the inconvenience, but it's too cold for our caterpillars to play inside today. We will see you NEXT Month for our Caterpillar Play-and-Learn at the Ransom District Library. Thank you for your patience and flexibility.
