Positive Discipline with child care!

Dr. Rene’s Play & Workshop Series provides a shared learning experience for parents and children. This ninety minute weekly program includes a Parenting Topic Workshop - there are 38 different topics – and open Q&A time with Dr. Rene, while the children are enjoying preschool play activities with the teachers. To balance the learning and playing, you also get to share an art activity or open play time with your child.

Learning Together - A Shared Experience with Your Child

The Play & Workshop Series is a ninety minute weekly class for you and your child. Each weekly class includes time for parent and child to do play and art together.  For the next hour, parents will join Dr. Rene for in depth discussion on a specific parenting topic while skilled teachers work with the children. As no two children are alike and as no child comes with an instruction guide, you’ll have time each week with Dr. Rene to ask her any of the important questions on your mind. Bringing to the group all of her years of experience guiding parents through each phase of child development, Dr. Rene will be your partner, confidante and trusted friend in helping you to seek out solutions to any concerns you may have about raising your child.

During this time, your child will be engaged with other children having snack and story time, movement games and other fun activities provided by Parenting Playgroups experienced preschool teachers.

Parenting topics cover a wide variety of important issues where best practice options and approaches are provided. Many parents report back that they love having a shared experience with their child and a shared experience with the other parents participating and the open Q & A time with Dr. Rene. The curriculum includes 38 specific topics of interest including sleep issues, potty training, aggression/competition, sibling issues, positive discipline and many more.  Click here for sample course syllabus.
