Raising a child with unique learning and developmental needs comes with both challenges and rewards. This ECFE class is designed exclusively for parents of children on an IFSP or IEP, providing a supportive community to share experiences, learn from experts, and explore strategies to navigate parenting with confidence. Co-taught by an early childhood teacher, an ECSE teacher, and a parent educator, this class will offer guidance on advocacy, child development, and practical tools for home and school success. Join us for a time of learning from other parents of children with unique needs, connection, and encouragement.
