*By the Daily Press*

SANTA MONICA Local non-profit, The Early Childhood Parenting Center, has announced a change in leadership, introducing Frances Walfish as its new chairperson, with Linda Shoeman appointed as vice chair.

“The Early Childhood Parenting Center is the cutting-edge organization that has helped hundreds of parents over the years with universal parenting issues,” said Walfish. “In addition to its pioneering parent-child support groups, ECPC is unique in offering our ‘Parenting Warm Line’ telephone service that provides advice from trained childhood development specialists at no cost.”

The “Parenting Warm Line” is a free phone service designed to provide concerned parents with non-medical related-advice from trained childhood development specialists. Parents are urged to call (310) 281- 9770 to seek advice on a wide range of topics. The ECPC was founded in 1970 by Helen Reid and Saul Brown at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and is now located in Santa Monica. For more information, visit www.parentingtots.com.
