The Parenting Circle engages school parents to improve their children's school-readiness. Our parenting discussion groups extend parenting classes. Led by the same trained group leader who delivered the parenting class the discussion groups last for as long as parents want. The groups become sustainable when the trained group leader identifies and trains a participating parent to lead the group.
