parent/child classes
Alphabet Zoo and Numbers Too!
ECFE 2.0
Current research shows that some children will start
kindergarten without the skills necessary for learning.
Join us to learn about preparing your children for
school and how to encourage reading and math
at home while your children learn about letters,
numbers, counting and more.
If you’ve been in ECFE classes a year or more and
are ready to dig deeper into parenting questions
and issues, this class is for you! Possible topics
include cultivating creativity, parenting to meet
each child’s individual needs, kids and money, and
negotiating friendships.

Guilt-Free Parenting
In today’s world, many parents try to be super-human,
often sacrificing their own well-being and relationships
with others to meet the ever-increasing demands of
their children’s lives. Join other parents to learn ways
to let go of parent guilt and to concentrate on ways of
becoming a guilt-free parent.
