Even
Start Family Literacy Parenting Classes
 |
One
of the main components of the Even Start Family Literacy Program are
the Parenting Classes that are offered, everyday from 12:30 pm - 1:00
pm in the Even Start Building. Our classes use a variety of materials
including Parents as Teachers curriculum, Family Frameworks curriculum
and material from No Child Left Behind. |
| Our
classes are taught by Miss Ruby Santos our Parent Educator and the
topics for the Parenting classes focus on the importance of literacy
in the lives of young children. Parents also discuss how their children
develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually at different
ages. Parents occasionally will be placed in groups in order to discuss
different activities that they can use with their children at home
in order to help them develop their gross and fine motor skills. |

 |
Classes
are taught bilingually and at the end of each session, parents take
home a copy of the material that has been presented, in English and
Spanish. Topics discussed recently have included: Traffic Safety,
Block Play and how it Benefits a Child's Mind, How Children Learn
to Play, General Fears and Anxieties in Children and How to Tame a
Temper Tantrum. |
