Established in 1988, the Community Parent Center is Bellmore-Merrick's resource center for quality parent and community education programs addressing substance and alcohol abuse prevention, bullying/harassment and youth violence prevention, and safe teen driving.

It provides a wide range of workshops on a variety of other topics including: healthy lifestyles and activities, discipline, sibling rivalry, self esteem, peer pressure, communication, stress reduction and getting ready for middle school.

A non-profit community based organization, the Center and its services are available to families with children grades Pre K-12.

Donations are needed to expand and enhance its programs and services offered throughout the year.
