The challenges of parenting are ever-changing, but we have you covered with our evening-scheduled parenting classes and workshops. Our parenting classes will bolster your skills on a range of topics including potty training, positive parenting, picky eating, sibling rivalry, and Infant & Child CPR and Safety.
We add new parenting classes and workshops often, but if there is something specific you’d like learn about, just ask! For quick guides, synopses of workshops, and mini-articles, check out our blog.

Positive parenting is a great parenting tool that is simple to learn!
When it comes to behavior, life with toddlers and preschoolers can often be quite challenging! Do you find yourself wondering how to handle difficult behaviors? Are you wondering what behaviors are age-appropriate and which ones need disciplining? What does ‘discipline’ mean anyway? Are you wondering about ‘time-outs’, how to use them or if they are even effective? What are other discipline and limit-setting options? Our positive parenting class will answer all your questions, provide plenty of personal guidance, and give you and your partner tried-and-true tactics to use at home.
There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. Our goal is for parents to leave this workshop feeling knowledgeable and confident.
