Early Childhood Parenting Class Schedule

Early Childhood Parenting Classes are designed especially for parents and caregivers of children who are newborn through age five. These classes will give you the information and practical skills you need to help your children from the start. You'll learn helpful techniques to improve communication and encourage cooperation, plus effective discipline strategies that promote both self-esteem and mutual respect. Sessions are supportive and thought-provoking. You will hear how other parents deal with concerns just like yours.

The classes meet one evening a week for seven weeks. There is no charge for these classes, but advanced registration is required. In order to register for a class simply call the facilitator and reserve your space in the class. Refreshments will be served, and childcare is typically available.
