Parents with children ages 0-3 are invited to join this exciting and active class. We have created an environment in which children and parents can experience new literacy rich activities together through books, music, games, puppet play, and child directed play. Our goal is to provide a space and forum for parents and children to spend time playing and learning together. We invite new participants every week. Come play, learn, and explore with us!

In this ELL class we will talk about issues of importance to parents of elementary school age children, and provide opportunities for discussion, critical thinking, and problem solving. All while improving their English skills. Lessons are based on relevant but entertaining readings about common concerns parents have about their child?s school journey.
