All children will enjoy classroom activities with their parents, but the fun really begins when parents go to their parenting discussion and the big kids (ages three through five) get to “practice” going to preschool in the classroom while the younger siblings play in the sibling care classroom. There will be learning activities in small and large groups similar to those in preschool. Discussion topics will focus on helping children learn preschool skills as well as topics that foster growth and development. For a two-day option, see “A Taste of Preschool PLUS” on page 10 (side column).

As you transition from parenting little ones to bigger kids, it’s time to shift discussions to a focus on preschool and early elementary school parenting.
