Learn, Understand and Grow With Your Child!

The Parent Education Program is based on the premise that learning is a natural on-going process.

Classes are designed to train parents to create supportive and positive learning environments for their children that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth. This is done through participation, observation and discussion. The curriculum is a readiness program that includes pre-reading, math concepts, science, music, motor skill development in addition to various parenting topics. Children and parents learn together.
