Registration has begun! Couples Parenting Workshop on Sunday, September 15: Creating a Family Vision and Mission Read more here, or scroll down for more information.
Parents now are very concerned that their children need to be "taught" at an early age. But in reality, children learn very differently than adults. In fact, there are many misconceptions of Early Learning, such as...
...Children begin learning from the moment of birth on.
...Children are empty vessels or blank slates to be filled with knowledge.
...Social, emotional and intellectual learning are separate, and intellectual or cognitive learning is most important.
...The adult's role is to "teach" children, making every moment a teaching moment.
Science shows how these are misconceptions.

This class is designed for couples to dream, hope, share and create their family mission and vision. Parents lament the lack of time with their partner to have these meaningful conversations about core values and finding common goals. This is the time. In this workshop, we will brainstorm together to get ideas flowing, then we will break up into couples, and develop the guiding principles of your family. Think of it as a productive date night, a time to enjoy each other without children, build the framework for parenting, and establish your unique family culture. Join us!

What parents are saying about the workshops:
This class was a breath of fresh air for my partner and I. We finally had the chance to take a deep dive into our values and perspectives on parenting—something we never make time for! Nancy creates the right down-to-earth atmosphere that allowed us to laugh and really talk about the things that matter most to us.
--Marc and Ariela
The Creating a Family Vision and Mission class with Nancy was time well spent -- the class feels like a gift that every family should enjoy. Nancy led us through a balanced session of independent thought, authentic connections, and group sharing. The night flowed effortlessly with ideas and values evolving into a collection of statements that resonate with how we envision our family. The statements clarify the things we cherish and highlight the things we hope to strive toward. We highly recommend this class and we appreciate Nancy's skilled facilitation.
