About Us

Nurture, Inc.'s Fredericksburg Parent and Family is an award-winning local parenting magazine for expectant moms and dads and parents of children from birth through the teen years. Now in its 9th year, Fredericksburg Parent and Family is published monthly on the first of the month. Our local writers examine and discuss education, safety, health care, the arts, family entertainment and child care in the greater Fredericksburg and Rappahannock region. The monthly calendar, published both in the magazine and on the web site, is the most extensive available. Moms, dads, grandparents, and caregivers of kids of all ages find activities, exhibits, and entertainment available throughout the month.

We distribute to the area's families with children under the age of 18 by subscription, spot delivery to selected neighborhoods, and controlled racks in over 400 locations. Look for us at Mary Washington Hospital, Central Rappahannock Regional Library branches, YMCAs, pediatric, dental, and OB/GYN offices, child care centers, preschools, Parks and Rec locations, Borders, coffee shops, Ukrops, GEICO, public school offices, and PTOs. Children in private schools, most preschools, and several public school districts bring them home in their backpacks monthly.

In addition to the monthly magazine and the web site, Fredericksburg Parent and Family produces several special events throughout the year: Healthy Kids Day, Cover Kids Contest and Baby Fair, Princess Teas, Smart Discipline Lectures, and an After School Activities Expo.

Our goal is to create a large parenting network that supports as many families as possible. We encourage our readers to contribute ideas, information, suggestions, and stories to help us make Fredericksburg Parent and Family a truly valuable parenting tool.
