• Alex House offers several different parent-education programs during the year and we keep ongoing participant interest lists.
There is a small fee for most groups, but if you need help with fees or have any questions please talk to us. The next scheduled group is More Tools for your Parenting Toolkit, a group for parents and caregivers of children ages four to 12.
Children in the middle years are learning and accomplishing many new skills, which makes this an ideal time for parents/caregivers to sharpen theirs.
The group will start in February 2013, two hours a week for six weeks. $40/family. To register or for more information, call 604-538-5060, ext: 24.
