Parenting Center Offering Nurturing Families Classes
COVINGTON, LA – The Parenting Center of St. Tammany Parish Hospital is sponsoring a Nurturing Parenting course for building healthy and caring families. Nurturing Parenting is a proven, internationally recognized program for parents and their children that enhances self worth, empathy, discipline and empowerment.
Nurturing Parenting will cost $40 and includes course materials. Scholarships may be available for qualifying participants. The 16-week course is for parents and children up to 12 years old. Classes will be held Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. March 18 through June 24 at The Parenting Center, 1505 North Florida Street, Suite B, Covington.
Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. Please call 985-898-4435 or email pjarrell@stph.org to register or for more information.
