This class includes child development, family relationships, as well as other related topics leading to more effective parenting.
Parents also register their child for a preschool group.
Children attend the preschool 2-2 hours a day for two to four days per week depending upon the size and needs of the parent group. Each individual preschool group will charge a tuition fee to cover operational costs of supplies, rent, and salary of the preschool teacher employed by the parent cooperative. Each parent will participate in the preschool center one session per week, which serves as a laboratory session to practice learning from the parent education classes. The Parent Education instructor of the Parent Cooperative Preschool will coordinate the evening classes and the preschool center program. Development of the infant and the changing family relationships will be studied.
