Parents Place Express on the Peninsula

Parents Place Express on the Peninsula brings parenting workshops and expert consultation services directly to your business, school or community site, enabling busy parents to get the information and support they need.

School and Community Based Services
Parents Place helps both parents and teachers of preschoolers through the high school years with topic-related workshops at their child's school site to educate parents about the developmental needs of children.

Workshops Available
Over 50 different educational workshops are now available for parents and teachers about the developmental needs of children from birth through adulthood. Our popular topics include Positive Discipline, Healthy Eating Habits, Choosing a Preschool or School, Raising Multilingual Children, Creating Successful Learners, and Teaching Values and Responsibilities, Peer Pressure, Bullying, and Academic Success.

Dynamic Instructors
Our instructors hold advanced degrees in education, child development or counseling, and are well versed in a wide range of topics beginning with early childhood education through the high school years; children's developmental issues; and parenting concerns.

Parenting Education Yields
Big Returns for Business

Parents Place Express provides a way for businesses to help their employees better juggle home and work life responsibilities, by offering current education on their most pressing parenting concerns such as eating and sleeping habits, toileting, child care and preschools, and for older children peer pressure, bullying, academic success and more. This leads to improved staff morale and productivity, less absenteeism, increased staff camaraderie and a family-friendly workplace.
