General Family Information
This is not necessarily support group related, just helpful to have on hand for events/encouragement gifts/etc!
We know that it's been a while since you've needed your nametag - let us know if you need a replacement nametag, if you never got one (licensed during covid), or if you still have yours and don't need a new one! We will use the name you entered above for the nametag.

Childcare Information
Hope & Home provides free childcare services to families attending classes and Support Groups at Hope & Home (and we LOVE being able to do so!). In Colorado Springs alone, we see over 450 kids come through childcare in the course of one month. In foster care, we know that childcare needs can change quickly. Please keep us informed of those changes! We strive to ensure that each and every child has a great, growth-oriented experience at Hope & Home. (As a reminder, we are unable to watch children who are not yet walking - this is outlined in the childcare policy.)
Please read our 2021 Childcare PolicyBy checking the box below, I affirm that I have read, understand, and agree to comply with Hope & Home's Support Group Childcare Policy.
If you are tech savvy, please upload your signed childcare policy. **Note: if you are a couple, both individuals need to sign this policy or upload two documents. Digital signatures are okay! If you can't upload your signed policy right now, we will ask you to sign one prior to utilizing childcare in 2021 as we must have a policy on file for each family!
Examples: 2 openings, ages 7-18 OR 1-3 openings, ages 1-3, 12-16 OR Closed license.
Knowing this number helps us arrange groups to be able to accommodate potential placements in childcare numbers.
We understand that this number may change, but please register the children who will be in your home and walking as of June 1. Littles who are not yet walking will stay with you in Support Group. (If you are uncertain whether or not a placement will still be with you on June 1, please go ahead and register them. It is easier to remove someone than add them.) Thank you!

Support Group Registration
Neighborhood Support Groups are designed to act as your homeroom - a space where you can get to know other foster parents, welcome new foster parents, share in the joys and struggles, happiness and sadness of foster parenting.
Please note: We will do our best to accommodate everyone's preferences! However, if a group's childcare numbers exceed our capacity limits, we may need to contact you about other group options.
I acknowledge the following details about in-person groups. ADULT SCHEDULE DETAILS: 6:00pm-6:30pm - Welcome, Announcements, and Dinner | 6:30pm-7:45pm - Support Group
CHILDCARE SCHEDULE DETAILS: 5:50pm-6:10pm - Childcare Drop-Off | 7:45pm-8:00pm - Childcare pick-up and Zoondoogles FOOD DETAILS: I understand that food will be provided for children (as outlined in the childcare policy) and that adults will potluck (coordinated by your support group leader).
Is there any other information we should know when placing you into a Support Group or confirming your support group registration?
Hope & Home has a donation store (Giovanni's). What are some ways that the store has been helpful to you (so we can share some positivity with our volunteers!) and what are some ways that you would like to see it improved (so we can make it even better!).
