Parenting the 1 & 2-yr.-old Combo Class
Join the fun in this super interactive class for toddlers and their caregivers where we will sing, dance, have story-time, and do crafts together, all while working on social-emotional skills. Parent Smart classes are perfect for parents committed to their child’s education. We strongly believe that parents are a child’s first teacher. At Parent Smart, parents actively participate in their child’s classroom. Parents learn, both in the classroom and during in-class parenting pep talks child development theories and practice effective parenting skills. Children participate in readiness skills as they learn to love school!
About Our Program
Parent & Me Toddler Classes are offered for parents who enjoy one-to-one learning with their toddlers. Classroom activities are designed to enhance “hands-on” fun, exploration and learning. Parents receive support regarding parenting issues specific to young children during morning classes and parenting seminars. “Miss Lisa” is a fully credentialed (Early Childhood – Adult educator). She provides a nurturing, stimulating learning environment for toddlers and their parents! Family Fun Field Trips* at toddler-friendly locations at great group rates are also part of the experience! (*cost of field trips not included in class fee)!

- Parents must bring proof of negative adult TB test administered after 1/1/2022, before class starts.
