The Las Madres Mission

Las Madres began in 1953 when 12 mothers came together at a childbirth preparation class.  The Las Madres mission is to provide neighborhood and community-wide forums for educational assistance and support for children and their parents or caregivers pertaining to parenting and early childhood mental, physical and social development.

• provide a place to share parenting information
• provide a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas and information
• organize or sponsor public interest programs of interest to parents and children
• organize and support activities that develop confidence and self-esteem and positive parent-child relationships
