The goal of the Parent Participation Program is to enhance parenting skills through classroom discussion, interaction and observation. Parent and child attend class once a week and focus on the developmental stages of the child. Curriculum includes teacher-led discussions on parenting techniques and strategies for creating a healthy family environment. In class, parents share their challenges and successes while children enjoy age-appropriate play, circle time, and songs. Through interacting with other parents and children while participating in the classroom environment, parents gain a greater understanding of the needs and abilities of their children.
Parent Participation classes are taught by teachers holding California teaching credentials.
