Over 50 different educational workshops are now available for parents and teachers. Our popular topics include Positive Discipline, Healthy Eating Habits, Choosing a Preschool or School, Raising Multilingual Children, Creating Successful Learners, Teaching Values and Responsibilities, Peer Pressure, Bullying, and Academic Success. Our expert parent educators offer one-hour workshops at lunchtime, after work, or at other convenient times.

Our instructors hold advanced degrees in education, child development, or counseling, and are well versed in a wide range of topics--from early childhood education through the high school years to children's developmental issues and parenting concerns.

Parenting Education Yields Big Returns for Business

Parents Place Express provides a way for businesses to help their employees better juggle home and work life responsibilities, by offering current education on their most pressing parenting concerns such as eating and sleeping habits, toileting, child care and preschools, and--for older children--peer pressure, bullying, academic success, and more. Offering such workshops can lead to improved staff morale and productivity, less absenteeism, increased staff camaraderie, and a family-friendly workplace. Annual corporate services can include:

  • One-hour workshops, at lunchtime or after work, which can be offered to your other locations via teleconference or other means
  • Telephone and email consultations with a child development specialist and/or parent educator
  • Drop-in Play cards good for 5 visits at our Parents Place location
  • A one-year library membership at our Parents Place location

Parenting Services at No Cost to Your Company

If you have a group of 10 or more participants and can provide us with a space in which to run the program, your employees can schedule the parenting education workshop of their choice, and register and pay their fees directly to Parents Place.
