Parent Resource Center

The Parent Resource Center, located at the Mount Vernon STEAM Academy, is a home base for parents, guardians, and families. The center's goal is to provide parents with the tools, education, support, and information needed to become the best parent they can be to their child. Offering workshops and support groups that focus on mental wellness, financial literacy, health education, coping with social behavioral issues, how to navigate the world of special education, and much more!
