Parenting Classes

Happy Parents, Happy Kids!

*REGISTRATION NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC*

The journey of parenthood is filled with questions and uncertainties. Well, navigating that journey just got a whole lot easier.

Issues like picky eating, sleep issues, and behavior problems often create conflict and stress for families.

That’s why we introduced our Parent Empowerment Seminars, led by pediatrician, Dr. Lisa Petit. These 1-hour online group classes provide evidence-based, practical strategies that will increase your knowledge and confidence as a parent. These classes were originally offered exclusively for our patients, but registration is now open to everyone!

Most parents would agree that parenting is harder than they thought it would be. Let us help make it a little bit easier!

Take a look at our class offerings:
