Parenting Center Classes for Children

Our Parenting Center provides families with support and guidance as they raise their young children. It offers networking opportunities, resources, and programming with a wide variety of classes to meet the developmental and social needs of both young children and parents. From art to yoga, we make parent and toddler time fun and interesting.  


SUMMER 2012 SCHEDULE-AT-A-GLANCE
 
Please be aware that, because the Parenting Center shares space with the Washington DCJCC preschool and summer day camp, we will not be able to offer all of our usual classes over the summer.  Motion Commotion Playgroup, Art for Tots, KidSongs with Ms. Audrey, Getting Ready for Preschool on Fridays, and weekday Spanish classes will all return in the fall!
