We’re glad you’ve taken the time to learn more about our organization! 

 

Parents AT Home originated in Columbia, Maryland in 2000 as a support organization for all parents and caregivers staying at home, either full- or part-time, to raise their children. Since then, Parents AT Home has grown to three chapters in Central Maryland.  Our current chapters are in Mount Airy, Catonsville/Baltimore County and Columbia.
