Empowered Parents, Thriving Kids
Parent Education Group
These weekly classes will be led by our team of skilled pediatric therapists. Classes will consist of an educational presentation and resource handout or digital guide, followed by hands on practice of skills introduced. There will also be opportunities for questions and group discussions!
Who can benefit from these classes? First time parents and caregivers, and any caregiver that has concerns or questions with how to support development in the first few years of life!
These classes do not serve as therapy. While we will be happy to answer questions and provide support for the group, if your concerns or questions are very specific or warrant extended time to support, we will schedule you for an individual session to best address your child’s needs.
It is appropriate to attend the group with or without your child.
If you are bringing a child for a feeding related topic, please make sure to contact our office about items to bring for your child!
We do ask that siblings that are not age appropriate for the course topic do not attend, just to decrease distractions for the whole group.
Cost: $35/session
Sign up is required to attend!
