Every year, the staff at Chesapeake Family Media put together this big resource guide to help families find whatever they need to raise their children. We’ve been at this for 33 years and have met amazing people supporting families; their information is shared here.
Raising kids is hard work. There aren’t many people who will argue about that. It can be made easier when you find other families, schools, health care, the library, and various community resources that will have your back when you have questions or concerns. It takes all of us to raise future leaders, workers, teachers, and doctors who will diagnose and treat our ailments as we grow old. Parents aren’t alone- reach out for help.
You’ll also find some tips on how to deal with handling playground disputes. Of course, if kids are slugging it out on the playground, it’s time to step in, but sometimes, it’s better to let kids figure out how to deal with conflict themselves.
To help you find what you need, our directories cover the important things like Preschools, Private Schools, or Summer Camp Programs. Check out our complete directory for more information. It includes a great feature in which you can compare listings as well as find recommendations from local parents.
Don’t forget to have some fun! You’ll find many ideas for field trips, and must-see destinations in the DMV.
