Parenting Toddlers and Pre-Schoolers

Caring for toddlers and preschoolers is a big job that can feel overwhelming at times. You never really know what to expect next. One day, your child surprises you with a new word, and the next, they refuse a favourite food. Soon after, they ask “why” ten times in a row. And then there are those temper tantrums that seem to flare up out of nowhere!

When and where is the class offered?

• The class is available as a group workshop or a private class.
• The group class is offered several times per year. Scroll down for upcoming dates.
• You can attend this class online or in person at our office at 9912-106 Street, Edmonton.
• In our group workshops, you will have many opportunities to ask questions, learn about yourself and your family, hear others’ experiences, and practise new skills. Many people who attend our workshops say they feel better after attending because they realize that they are not alone.

These are ideal for individuals or couples who want to get started sooner than the next group workshop, can’t attend the group workshops due to work schedules or other personal commitments, or simply prefer a more private setting.

How much does it cost?

Group workshop: $200 per person.

Private session: $350
