LaneKids, Lane County’s Parenting Education Hub, is a local network of parenting education providers and stakeholders brought together by United Way of Lane County to strengthen and coordinate our community’s parenting education system.

LaneKids is one of sixteen Parenting Education Hubs across Oregon committed to improving access to an array of evidence-based parenting education opportunities and activities for all families.

Mission

All parents have the knowledge, tools and support systems to nurture their child’s optimal development and success in school and life.

2019-20 LaneKids Funded Agencies

These evidence based parenting education series are typically 10 to 12 weeks in duration and require the use of an evidence based curriculum such as Make Parenting A Pleasure, Nurturing Parenting, or Incredible Years.
