Is Your Child Ready to be Home Alone?
There are many variables to consider besides age before leaving your child home alone or allowing him/her to become a baby sitter. By answering the following questions, you can determine rather quickly if your child is truly ready:

    • How responsible is your child?
    • How mature is your child?
    • How would your child act in an emergency?
    • How does your child answer the phone or door bell?
    • Does your child adhere to the boundaries and limits you set in your home?

Family Education Classes

RCPC offers parenting classes and a variety of groups in an effort to help you connect with other caregivers. Classes assist you in learning healthy skills for becoming and maintaining a strong family.
