You can ask your questions, and we will share ideas with you about building a solid base for your family. We will also have time to sing songs and play some games.

Parents and Twos: 24 Through 35 Months (Separating, Siblings Welcome)
Twos are growing at high speed, so they require guidance and limits as they set out to try everything in sight. Make a date with your two-year-old and learn delightful ways to enjoy time together. You will value a parent group where you can learn about and share this super stage in your child’s development.

Kids, Parents and Power Struggles (Separating, Siblings Welcome)
Power struggles often feel like someone has to win and someone has to lose. A ‘win-win’ solution is where each party comes away feeling like they got what they wanted. Getting to ‘win-win’ takes negotiation. This class is designed to identify the sources of conflict in the home, be it bed times, meal times, or an imbalance in discipline and parenting styles, and to turn those struggles for power into empowerment.
Please register ALL children, including siblings, who will be attending class.
