| Throughout your child's development, and
through each Preschool class, you will address significant parenting
issues that will both challenge and frustrate you. Through in-depth
discussion with your instructor, teacher and peers at monthly parent
education meetings, we will address these issues and look at ways of
building effective parenting stratergies and skills. As we work through
specific topics, you will have the opportunity of practising solutions
in the Preschool classroom, with the guidance and understanding of the
teacher,the Parent Instructor, and of other parents.
Below is a suggested reading list that
covers most of the topics that will be raised through-out you and your
child's involvement in the Preschool. Specific issues can be discussed
in more detail at parent ed meetings, or privately, one-on-one with
your instructor.
