FOR THE PARENTS
This site has been designed with you in mind. We know how difficult and stressful it can be to have to move, say goodbye to your friends, switch schools and start over. Adults have lots or reasons for moving to this region - jobs, family connections, better climate and lifestyle. But their kids have no choice - and some of them arrive here from other parts of the country kicking and screaming.
We have plenty of links for things to do so you can learn all about your future home.
