Parenting Classes

Parents like to be involved in understanding their children's development, behavior and emotions.  We are under great stress and tension.  What better way to become involved in releasing stress and tensions than through attending 7 or 8 sessions of STEP classes (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting)?  The classes offer parents, guardians, grandparents, caretakers, a realistic approach to meeting the challenges of children today.  Though the support groups, persons become actively involved in discussing common concerns and learning specific child-training techniques.

Classes start in March . Classes will be held at the First Congregational Church UCC, 1315 N. Pine Street, Rochester.

1. The Early Childhood STEP class is 7 sessions, held on Thursdays starting March 22nd  from 7:30 - 9 pm.
