Welcome From the Director

I am delighted to announce that you will be part of LCPC Parent Education history. For the first time in 32 years, you will be able to register from the luxury of your own home – rather than standing in early morning lines! Check out our registration website @ http://www.lcpcparented.org/registration.

If you have a child between age 0-18, we have a class for you! We have classes for parents (and grandparents) of babies, toddlers, 2-5 year olds, pre-kindergarten, elementary, tween, and teen children. The staff is excited about the 2010- 2011 school year as we will be offering 14 different classes in our new facilities.

Our program is unique in that in addition to offering 10 “Parent & Child” Classes, we also offer 4 “Parent Only” Classes for parents of pre- kindergarteners, elementary, tween and teen children. Additionally, we may add summer classes and night or weekend classes. Stay tuned and check out our website regularly.

It is my pleasure to be part of this very special program. As always, please contact me with your ideas and input. The Parent Education Offices are located on the 1st floor of the new Ministry Hub located at the bottom of the campus at 626 Foothill Blvd., La Canada, CA 91011 (818) 790-6708.

God’s richest blessings,

Mission Statement

The La Canada Parent Education Program is a ministry committed to drawing families to Christ, His Church, and each other.

We strive to encourage loving and effective parenting by teaching concepts of human development, strategies for building stronger families, and an appreciation for the uniqueness of both parent and child.

In addition, we seek to create a warm, caring community of faith within each class which will provide meaningful support and encouragement to parents in their parenting journeys.

What We Offer

Entering its 31st year, the Parent Education program offers something for everyone. For children, it is an opportunity to spend one-on-one time with mom or dad, while exploring a rich and varied environment with children their own age. For parents, there are discussions on pertinent parenting issues led by a staff of caring teachers specially trained in child development.

Teacher assistants, who are also qualified in child development, work closely with the children facilitating confidence and comfort during class and discussion times. Parent Ed. is a program that nurtures parents and children in a Christian atmosphere. One of the greatest benefits is the encouragement and support parents receive on their parenting journey.

About Our Classes

We offer weekly morning classes for parents and their children ranging in ages from infants to five years old. Parent only classes are offered for parents of school-age children ranging from Pre-K though teens. “Parenting is a life long journey. At every age there are challenges and issues. At older ages, kids really need their parents’ guidance, because their mistakes are more costly,” says Jan Roberts, Parent Coach and the teacher of several Parent Education parent only classes.

The parent only classes were first developed for parents who graduated from the parent-child parenting classes and realized they were facing issues for which they needed help and support. Cary Horne is teaching our Parents of Pre-K children. Jan Roberts teaches three, weekly parent only classes providing parents the opportunity to learn about parenting children and teens throughout their school age years.
