For Ages 3-5CUIDAR (CHOC-UCI Initiative for the Development of Attention and Readiness) program offers free 10 week parenting classes called Community Parent Education (COPE)
“The COPE approach to teaching parenting skills uses active, small-group discussions among parents to help them identify their goals and their approaches to parenting. Group leaders foster discussions that help participants develop, practice, and strengthen the skills that will allow them to achieve their own individual goals for parenting their children.
By the end of the series of sessions, parents should have the tools they need to help their preschoolers prepare for their school-aged years. It is time well-invested as the skills parents learn can greatly enhance their effectiveness.”
Some of the Spring sessions already started but you can still try calling them and get on the wait list. By the way, while these sessions are happening, the kids get to mingle together. They provide childcare.
