Early childhood education is not only important for childcare workers, but can also be a wonderful asset to parents. Martha & Mary Children's Services has developed a parent training resource which will hold classes quarterly and provide refreshments as well as childcare in the early evening. A parent who would like support for the dificulties encountered in parenting, a listening ear or new ideas and alternatives to the current situation they face, will find that and much more. Connections with other parents who want to learn more, an hour of relaxing time to chat with others and consultation with a specialist in the field will be some of the advantages.

If you would like information on the current schedule and cost, please call 360-394-4095.
