Individual Parent Education
Nurturing Parenting Program offers home-based parent skills trainings. Led by a trained parent educator, these courses focus on the whole family - teaching a variety of parenting skills, including: how to handle feelings and communicate needs; how to establish nurturing routines for regular family activities such as bed and mealtimes; and, tips on effective discipline and dealing with stress.

1, 2, 3, 4 Parents! helps parents of children ages 1 to 4 learn about child development, parenting styles, effective ways to discipline, bonding, setting routines, giving choices, child-proofing the home, and caring for themselves.

Circle of Parents
Circle of Parents is a support group for parents and caregivers to build friendships with other parents and caregivers who share common challenges and experiences in parenting. It is also a place for parents to be able to share their successes with one another. The weekly group will be co-led by parents and the parent educator. The group will be an open place for parents and caregivers to share their experiences and find strength in each other. A children’s group will be run simultaneously for those who would like to bring their children.

The group will meet each Thursday from 10:00 to 11:30 am in the Cooperative Play Center.
