We are dedicated to empowering parents with information and resources they need to be the most effective parents they can be.
Our editorial focus is set on serving the time-starved parent with a combination of practical how-to information and a hand-picked calendar of family-focused events. And unlike many parenting magazines that fill their pages with nationally syndicated copy and no local focus, Parenting OC is community-focused from cover to cover. Orange County is home to some of the top research centers on the subjects of child development, education and family issues from such world-renown places as Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and the UC Irvine Child Development Center, allowing the editors of Parenting to provide the most current parenting information available without leaving OC.
We are also committed to delivering a thoughtfully selected calendar of events and activities that is tot-tested, parent-friendly. Our goal is to help parents attain their goal: to nurture and raise and send out into the world a human being who can positively influence others and make a valuable contribution to our society and to have a little family fun in the process.
