National Parenting Education Day!


Join NPEN in celebrating National Parenting Education Day on April 4, 2025!

“Raising children is sacred work. It should matter to all of us.”

— Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General

Celebrated on the first Friday in April, this day raises awareness about the transformative power of parenting education. It highlights research-based resources and support that empower parents, foster healthy family environments, and strengthen communities, helping to de-stigmatize seeking assistance. The day also serves as a platform to honor the caring, skilled and  credentialed professionals who respect parents’ rights to create their unique family culture.

Let's come together to champion a brighter future for all families!

Please utilize and share the materials below in whatever ways you can!



See how others are acknowledging the day!


In celebration of National Parenting Education Day, The Parenting Collaborative of Philadelphia, PA will host a special event to recognize the work of our parent educators, and to support and empower the parents we serve!  We will use this as an opportunity to highlight and celebrate the impact of parent educators on the families throughout our community.  Our event will also feature parent/caregiver resources to help navigate the challenges of parenting and strengthen family relationships, children’s story time with a community librarian, resources to prepare families for kindergarten registration, snacks and more!

NPEN'S EQUITY AND JUSTICE STATEMENT

The National Parenting Education Network (NPEN) operates through the lens of equity and justice. We know the importance of social justice (racial, economic, educational, health, housing, employment, criminal, and environmental), diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging within the parenting education field and our organization. We demonstrate our commitment to these realities by ensuring that our membership and leadership roles are open to parenting professionals of all ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, ages, abilities, religions, sexual orientations, nationalities, genders, and marital statuses.  

Children learn about a just society through the words and actions of their parents, caregivers, and others.  We assert that our anti-racism and anti-oppression parenting education and family advocacy work allows everyone to be heard and supported. Our work includes promoting diverse parenting educators and parenting education in our media, webinars, member communications, leadership opportunities, networking, conferences, trainings, and advocacy. By keeping racial justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging at the forefront, we create an environment within NPEN that supports parenting educators, parents, and caregivers, thereby, encouraging children’s healthy growth and development.
