Parent Education

arents and family members are the most important people in a child's life.  At The Storybook Center we recognize that children don't come with an owner's manual, so we believe it's natural for parents to need a little help sometimes.  Our parent education classes and series are dedicated to meeting the needs of  parents and families. 

In our education classes and series we offer parents the chance to come and learn, while networking with other families, listening to and sharing their stories, challenges, questions, and solutions.

Some examples of our classes are noted here.  For a more complete schedule of events, please look in your Parent Handbook or contact us.
