LR-ouders Connected is here for you! A network for parents and by parents from Leidsche Rijn (by which we mean the part of Utrecht on this side of the A2). Focused on up-bringing and parenthood in this neighbourhood.
Being a parent is fantastic! It is challenging.. We’ve all been there. To get it off your chest, feeling recognized and getting inspired can make a big difference.
For that reason we are focussing on connecting between families We would like to connect to parents from all countries and cultures that are a significant part of LR.
