Parenting is a challenging job with struggles and trials. For some, the
challenge is even more difficult due to mental health issues or anxiety, added
stress of money concerns, parents with their own learning difficulties, or lack
of family support. This class offers parenting education, community resources,
children’s learning activities and time to play for parents facing these unique
challenges. Limited transportation is available. This class is not available for
online registration; call 763-506-7870 for more information or to register.
