Parent Series

Loper is pleased to announce a new parent program that targets issues facing today’s parents. The Parent Series will consist of four evening programs and will be facilitated by Dr. Allison

McGinley, Clinical Psychologist with Riley Child Development Center of Indianapolis. Programs will begin at 6:30 PM and babysitting will be available. Each program will be offered to the first twenty-five people who respond by returning the bottom portion of this paper. You may attend one or all four. There is no fee. You will be notified if you are one of the first twenty-five people to respond and a reminder will be sent before each presentation.
