Laura Abrahamsen, a Lakewood native and proud Lakewood High graduate, created this site while a library staff member. Since her daughter was born, she's been a full-time stay-at-home mom, a full-time working mom, and now a part-time working mom (the search for balance goes ever on...). Laura is back to teaching now (at her alma mater!), and another part-time working mom maintains this site.
Hopefully, the Lakewood Parents Page will help you find resources to make parenting a little easier and a lot more fun. Please send suggestions!
Much of this information is for parents of preschool children. For the parents of school kids, see our web sites for the many PTAs and other programs of Lakewood's elementary schools. You may also want to explore our Educational Resources for Teachers and Students, with educational and fun Internet links arranged by broad grade levels.
If it's winter time, and you're desperate for ideas on what to do, run -- don't walk! -- to our Winter Fun page!
Also, check out the
library's Parenting
and Family Entertainment Programs.
