PARENT-CHILD CLASSES

Parents and Children 0-5 attend classes together

For parents, discussions on pertinent parenting issues are led by a staff of experienced, caring teachers trained in child development, family counseling, and education. Teacher assistants, who are experienced with children, provide a stimulating and safe developmentally appropriate environment.
