Vision
We are the primary educational, social and supportive resource for families of multiples living or working in the South Bay. We offer multi-generational support and activities to parents, parents-to-be, grandparents, caretakers and guardians of multiple birth children and to the children as well. We serve the greater community as a source of information and inspiration about raising multiples. We work with community groups that are most closely aligned with our organization, including but not limited to: local NICUs and hospitals, medical personnel serving mothers and infants, other multiples organizations throughout Southern California, local parenting organizations, the March of Dimes and additional community groups that serve to research and educate the community about parenting and children's needs. We value fun, education, support, friendship, compassion, joy and empathy in the unique experience of parenting multiples.
