In a non-judgmental environment, parents are learning clinically proven positive behavior management strategies and developmentally appropriate expectations. Weekly, a mentor coaches’ parents on how to encourage cooperation and set reasonable limits. Strengthening the parent child relationship is a cornerstone of this program. In encouraging classroom environment children are learning school readiness skills such as following teacher instruction and circle time rules and norms. We are also providing opportunities for children to socialize and experience successful turn taking and peer interactions.

Our programs are provided in English and Spanish.  We work with families with children from birth through age 6 years old. Parents walk away with positive techniques to address behavioral problems.  Children learn ways to self-regulate and self-advocate at home, at school and in the community at large.  Strengthening the parent child relationship is a cornerstone of our program.
