How effective is the program?

We understand that everyone learns differently so we provide a fun, educational setting for learning!

• 📅Classes are held weekly, which gives parents enough time to absorb and practice the information taught in each class.
• 🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏼Classes are held in a group, so that parents can hear each other’s stories, know they aren’t alone, and learn from each other.
• 🎭 Classes are multi-sensory, meaning that parent educators facilitate presentations, group discussions, role-playing, activities, videos and more.

Participants are empowered to be actively engaged and use the classes to build our community of positive parenting.
