Parent Workshops

Circle of Security Parenting

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

NEW CIRCLE OF SECURITY PARENTING PROGRAMS COMING THIS WINTER

THE AGES AND STAGES DEVELOPMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE

is available to all parents interested in learning if their child's development is on track for his/her age and stage!

See below or contact Jodi @

Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ)

Parents, you are your child’s first and best teacher. And as teachers, the right tools can help you support your child’s growth and development.

CLICK HERE to learn more about the Ages & Stages Questionnaires and how this free tool might help you to continue supporting your child's healthy growth and learning.

PARENT QUOTE: I highly recommend ASQ as it is such a great tool that screens for Developmental milestones. Thanks to the ASQ, my son was referred to Early Intervention and his educational pathway is now a bright success! Learn & Play Group Parent Participant
