Berkeley Parents Network is a non-profit parent-to-parent forum for the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1993 as a mailing list for student parents at UC Berkeley, BPN has grown to include more than 30,000 subscribers from all over the Bay Area who use BPN to find childcare and schools, classes and camps, recommendations for local services, and to seek advice from other parents. Parents may subscribe to BPN for free, and BPN also accepts Community Subscriptions from schools, childcare providers, and other local kid-related services who want to publicize their programs on BPN.
