Our parenting classes are designed to facilitate the parents’ role in their child’s growth and development within a variety of learning opportunities. Parent and child attend class together, according to the schedule below. Classes begin September 18th and sessions are 9-10 weeks long. The cost is $225 for the 9 week session and $250 for the 10 week session, payable upon enrollment.

 

Infant classes are centered around discussion of infant development and common concerns as well as opportunities for music and playtime with the babies. There is also time for socialization among parents.

 

Toddler classes for 13-17 month olds and 18-30 month olds and their parents have a parent discussion component as well as indoor and outdoor free play, art experiences and beginning teacher time activities.
