Sometimes parenting can be difficult. Do you need some parenting strategies to end arguing, backtalk, begging, or whining? If you could use some support with family goal setting in this area or others, this is a FREE opportunity to get support!! We are offering a parenting class: Parenting the Love & Logic Way™ Classes are in the cafeteria. Childcare is hosted in the gym.

 

Cost of class = FREE, sponsored by Spark! Discovery Preschool, facilitated by Cheryl Hamilton, parent coach from the “Family Whisperer”! 

 

Cost for childcare = FREE, sponsored by Spark’s Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO)!

 

COST OF INVESTING IN FAMILY = PRICELESS
