The COPE Parent Education Program

This free 10-week course, called Community Parent Education (COPE), was designed to teach valuable parenting skills. Research has shown that the COPE curriculum is extremely effective. Parents also enjoy attending these series of workshops.

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.
