Stories From Our Families

Hear from parents and caregivers who have taken part in OPCC programs and found support, connection, and community.

I have taken my son to OPCC programs since he was very young and it has always been a welcoming and enriching experience - for both of us! Getting to meet other moms and giving my son some time with other kids has been extremely valuable. We really enjoy the family adventure programs - we look forward to these outings and trying new things! Thank you for all that you do.

I am grateful for the many events, workshops and support provided by OPCC! The drop in early years sessions really helped prep my daughter for daycare. I also love the many learning opportunities OPCC provides from car seat safety to toilet training! The educators are wonderful and so helpful! OPCC is a fantastic part of the community and hopefully more and more people will continue to benefit from it.

Lesley DS

OPCC’s programs are a treasure. My daughter and I absolutely adore the creatively designed sessions that prioritize both social connection and emotional growth. What makes this journey even more special is the team behind it all—your passion, expertise, and genuine care shine through every activity. You’ve created more than just a "program"; you’ve built a safe haven where families thrive.
