Be part of your child's learning through a parent education program that fosters the growth and development of parents and children with hands-on learning. The Family Life Education department offers classes to parents and caretakers of young children.
Our mission is to work in partnership with families in nurturing the development of children through parent education and support.
We have 11 cooperative community preschools and offer Parent/Child classes at the Center for Families. We also provide parenting education for Snohomish County Head Start. We are also offering online parent education classes for parents of school aged children.
