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 to nurture children's development
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.
Programs
Our program is designed to benefit children and their adults
Our infant and toddler programs involve a two-hour class one day per week. Sessions
run for ten weeks during fall, winter, and spring quarters.
Teachers provide age-appropriate experiences for children and opportunities for parents
to support their child's growing needs through planned classroom activities. The program
is designed to benefit both parents and children. A typical class includes parent-supervised
activities, such as music, snack, and active times.
Support and guide your children and their peers as they develop social skills.
Discuss child development and parenting strategies with an experienced educator.
Make new friends with parents with children the same age as your own.

Our programs focus on learning through play. Curriculum includes age-appropriate activities
in art, music, math, drama, social skills, science, language, and early literacy.
