"Healthy Start" Parent Workshops

 

Funded by:  

 

We offer a range of topics related to the healthy development of children through age 5. These Healthy Start parent workshops will be offered to families/caregivers of children with special needs. The selected curriculum is research based on a model that includes strategies for parents/caregivers to practice effective parenting skills. These workshops value, support and reinforce the role of parents as their child’s first teacher. Refreshments and child care are provided. RSVP is required. Please use the registration form below to sign up for a specific seminar and notify us how many children you are bringing to each workshop who will need child care.
