Parent Education

Parenting Workshops
Throughout the year parents are offered workshops to improve their parenting skills. Recent workshops have included Siblings Without Rivalry and How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk, both based on the books by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

Guest Speakers
At the January and March membership meetings, the school presents expert speakers on a variety of subjects as requested by the parents each year. Topics such as Positive Discipline, Power Struggles, and Kindergarten Readiness have been covered in the past.

Monthly Coffees
Meet to chat with other parents (no kids allowed!) over coffee one morning per month. The purpose is to discuss parenting issues, share information, and help each other out.

Parent Education Library
Silver Spring Nursery School has a growing library of parenting books available to the membership. As a member you can check out the books and take them home or look them over at the school while your child is in class.
