Offering workshops for parents and teachers of young children, with the goal of supporting them on the journey to nourish the minds and spirits of tomorrow's world! Our programs support parents and caregivers on the road to more connected and effective parenting, and nurture the development of compassion, creativity, and self-confidence in young children. Through our parenting workshops and facilitated playgroups, we:
• Share knowledge on early childhood development, the root of challenging toddler/preschooler behaviors, and developmentally appropriate expectations for children
• Model evidence-based, tried-and-true strategies that empower parents to effectively respond to challenging child behaviors, while deepening their connection to their children
• Cultivate opportunities for young children and their caregivers to play together, laying the foundation for emerging social skills, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation in a safe, consistent, and supportive environment
• Build community among families, fostering an environment where parents can support one another on their shared journey through the dynamic and challenging years of raising young children
For Parents: Parenting is one of the most challenging, important, and rewarding things you will ever do. The sky’s the limit when it comes to understanding this monumental task - but life as a parent does not always allow for a lot of research! Our parenting workshops draw from the latest research in the field, as well as our own experience as parents and educators, providing opportunities for you to genuinely engage with this information in a supportive environment. For Teachers: Early childhood educators are the most important people on the planet. Entrusted with the job of growing the minds of tomorrow, our workshops are designed to help teachers better understand and implement this important task.
