December Online Parent Class: The Power of Routine (Birth-5 years)
Parenting is the best job you'll ever have and it can also be challenging at times. We are here to support you! Join a licensed parent educator on the 2nd Wednesday of each month to get your questions answered and connect with other parents who are in the same boat.
Out and About in the Community: Sugar Rose Bakeshop (3-5 years)
Join a licensed parent educator to explore and learn about our community! The week before the field trip, you will receive an email explaining how to prepare your child for the special trip, a digital story that relates to the destination, and some conversation starters to have with your child before the visit. On the day of the field trip, you and your child will meet us at the local destination for a fun adventure. Siblings are welcome.
