Viroqua Parent Connection

Moms, dads, grandparents or caregivers who are looking for a place to unwind and share the joys and challenges of parenting with other parents. Connect over coffee and conversation in the library conference room while toddlers and preschoolers enjoy supervised play in the project room (infants and children who are not independent walkers are welcome to stay with their parents). Two qualified caregivers will supervise children-- register in advance as limited spaces are available.

Fun For Families

FREE Programs to all families

Our programs are fun – but they also build strong families. We know that children thrive when their families learn about parenting as children grow, connect with others, understand feelings, build inner strength, and know where to find help. At our group programs, you’ll meet other adults, get parenting tips, play with your child, and laugh! edit or change!
