Don't miss these opportunities to spend quality time with your child, and other parents with children of the same age. Now, right from your own home (using Zoom live videoconferencing).
All Extended Learning Parenting classes are tuition-free!
“We’re excited to be able to continue offering Parenting classes using Zoom, including Music Times and Growing Time, during these challenging times. The beauty of the Music Times curriculum is that it lends itself to an energetic participatory circle time.
Our use of musical innovative instruments in Music Times (finding pots and pans, sticks tabbed together and shakers of any sort is lots of fun - for children and parents)! Until we can meet again in person, this is a wonderful way to be together."

What to Expect from Parenting Classes Using Zoom
“Even with Zoom, getting together in real-time for Growing Times classes is a great opportunity to meet others with children the same age, who are experiencing similar stages of development. Parents get information, but also have a chance to ask questions and discuss challenges, joys, and experiences during class.
We learn joyful activities together, songs to sing together during a virtual "circle time", and participate in age-appropriate "at-home" activity and art demonstrations, dance, and enjoy "story time" read alouds; activities you can bring to your daily routine.”
- Kate Barker, Instructor, Extended Learning Parenting Classes
