C.O.R.E. for Parents Program

An innovative education program plus pre-school, for parents with children from 30 months to 5 years.  This program runs weekly from September to May and pre-registration is essential.

Parent Education and Pre-School Group

Our Mission:
We will support the parent-child relationship by providing a flexible and respectful learning environment for parents and children through focused TV observation of children at play.

What We Are About:
Parents participate in a weekly 2-hour education program while observing their children in a concurrent preschool program.

Parents:

  • observe their child at play using closed-circuit TV
  • participate in educational activities (discussion, guest speakers, exercises and observation)

Children:

  • participate in a weekly semi-structured 2 hour pre-school session.

Activities include:

  • structured and free play
  • art activities
  • circle time
  • field trips
            and much more...
We Believe:
  • the role of parent is important
  • parents can support each other
  • better understanding of our child leads to better parenting
  • children need socialization and play with each other

Sessions:

Groups run Wednesdays, and families may register for either the 9-11 am  or 1-3pm set
