Parent Subscribers
Subscriptions are free for parents, grandparents, parents-to-be, guardians, and foster parents who live in the San Francisco Bay Area (or are moving here). If you don't meet these criteria, sorry but we cannot offer you a free parent subscription. BPN is a non-profit and our resources are limited to supporting local parents. We review every subscription, and we only approve those that meet our membership criteria. See FAQ for Parent Subscribers for more information.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking to let parents know about your class, school, childcare services, or other child-related business or organization, instead choose one of the Community Subscriptions below.
Community Subscribers
Schools, individuals, organizations, private practices, and businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area that offer programs & services for families, parents or children may choose one of our paid subscriptions. A subscription allows you to publicize your program or services on BPN, and be included in our listings. Read About Community Subscribers for more information. Not sure which subscription to choose?
