Parenting classes offered at EdCC

Edmonds Community College will host infant and toddler parenting classes beginning in January at the new Center for Families on campus. The classes offer an opportunity for parents and their young children to interact together in a safe environment and participate in age-appropriate educational games, share successes with other parents and learn what typical behaviors are for young children and how to set realistic expectations. The classes, led by a parenting instructor and teacher, include 10 two-hour sessions and cost $96.
