Parenting Classes

STRIDE offers several kinds of parenting classes for the parents of young children.

In partnership with Peak Wellness Center each fall, spring and summer, we offer an 8 – 10 week Parent – Child Play group for children ages 3-5. During the program our parents participate in 45 minutes of instruction about the benefits of play and new ways to engage with your child through this activity while the children are receiving support for the development of peer relationships. Parents then join their children for supported parent – child play to enhance their relationship. Classes are held at STRIDE Learning Center with a light snack provided, as well as, child care for siblings. Parents should alert staff if their child has food allergies.
Parents must register with STRIDE staff, Connie Strayer or Amber Reagan
