About Parent / Child Classes - SEPARATING

In these classes, parents and children separate from each other. While the children are enjoying fun activities with each other, the early childhood teacher and an assistant, parents meet to discuss parenting issues, concerns, and questions with a licensed parent educator. Parents help decide what topics and/or issues will be discussed during each quarter. As the class ends, parents join their children for a brief time to say good-bye to their friends.

Almost Ready for Preschool (30-54 months)

Ages 30-54 months: Give your child, and yourself, a gentle introduction to the preschool experience. This class combines the best of ECFE with opportunities to practice independence and school readiness. On Wednesdays, parents and children begin class together before parents join a licensed parent educator for discussion while children remain in the classroom with an early childhood teacher. Parent topics may include school readiness, child development, behavior, friendships, discipline, and other topics chosen by the group. Sibling care is available on Wednesdays. Registration is required. On Fridays, children attend independently, giving them the chance to practice separating from caregivers, build confidence, and make new friends in a nurturing preschool environment. Families reunite at the end of class for a brief time together before saying goodbye.

Parent discussions are guided by the interests of the group and may include child development, behavior, family life, school readiness, and other parenting topics. This class offers a wonderful opportunity for both children and caregivers to learn, grow, and connect.
