Taos Loves Kids (TLK) offers classes and groups to support parenting. All our classes are offered in English and Spanish and we collaborate with various agencies in our community to make sure families are connected to services. Our classes are currently offered over Zoom.
Our facilitators are parents/grandparents in Taos and understand the diversity and the needs of our community.
Our services are free to families prenatally to 18 years of age.
