Parent Education

Join us for Parent Education!

As teachers and parents, we continually examine how we support our children’s perception of themselves as capable, independent problem solvers. This is what we do in KMS Parent Education groups. We are a diverse group of families, but all of us want our children to become creative, compassionate, competent, confident adults.

Join us as we share the journey of parenting.

We meet on the 1st, 3rd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. All classes will be held from 4:30 - 6:00pm at Elementary Corner Bldg. Check the calendar »
