Some parents sign up for a particular class to prepare themselves for the next stage in their child's development. Our Instructors PEC instructors bring a wealth of professional and personal experience to the learning environment. They build on their educational training, job experience, and first-hand knowledge as parents to stimulate learning in their classes. Most importantly, they are successful because they understand how children grow and develop, and they can translate this information into practical strategies for parents. Our Classes Our parenting classes provide participants with an opportunity to learn, discuss, and practice new parenting skills through a variety of activities.
Instructors present current theory about each topic and share their relevant experiences.
They also facilitate group discussion and encourage peer support among participants. PEC also offers court-approved classes for parents involved in separation, divorce, or child custody situations. Class locations Classes are commonly held in schools, libraries, community centers, houses of worship, and other public sites within Fairfax County.
