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 nine cooperative community preschools and offer Parent/Child classes at the Center for Families. We also provide parenting education for Snohomish County Head Start.
This Fall, 2020, we are offering a special online class - Supporting Parents through Distance Learning!
We recognize the stressful and unexpected position parents are facing due to the worldwide health crisis. While there is no manual to help parents approach remote learning in the best ways, we do know and value the importance of parent support and connection. Our weekly class will provide you with research-based best practices to help your family in this new educational model. In addition, this class will foster connections with others who are also having this unique experience of being caregiver, teacher's assistant, coach, and playmate.
