We chose cultivating parents as our name because these words express what we desire to accomplish.

According to the dictionary . . .

    Cultivate :
       to seek to become familiar with, give one's  attention to
       to improve by care, training or study, to prepare
       to promote development or growth

    Parent:
       a protector or guardian
       a human in relationship to their offspring
       a cause or source

By giving our attention and sharing our experience with parents, we hope to support their growth and their family's relationships..
