Now that we have your attention... CLL's popular parenting education classes are a favorite way for parents and children age 6 months to 5 years to spend fun, safe and healthy time together on weekday mornings!

Do you know a parent looking for new options for weekday mornings to spend fun, safe and healthy time together with their child? Please share this info & flyer and help them discover this wonderful resource!
Come learn positive parenting attitudes and how to create your healthy parent-child relationship in a safe and stimulating environment with age appropriate activities for infants and children age 6 months to 5 years at SBCC’s new Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL). Parents and caregivers with children learn about typical stages of development through observation, participation with other families and discussion
If you’re curious about which class to take, consider your child’s age and interests. Classes available at CLL include:

Ages 6-18 months: Music Times explores the power of rhythm, melody, tonality and beat together. Toddler Times teaches through song, as well as with puppets and books. Babies will expand their language skills in a joyful and stimulating environment.

“I am centered on working with families and coaching parents to work with their kids,” said Michelle Walsh, teacher of the Baby Sign Workshop and Infant Times II classes. Walsh is fluent in American Sign Language, and brings the joys of communicating with your baby using signs that communicate basic needs like “more,” “please” and “all-done.”

Ages 18 – 30 months: Consider Growing Times, and directly participate weekly with other parents to learn about your toddler’s stages of development. Expand your musical knowledge with Music Times III, and play with a wide variety of instruments.

Ages 2-5 years old: Growing Times II and III offer an artistic and hand-on approach or Squish, Splatter and Roll provides creative expression through art materials and sensory experience. Venture outside together into the beauty of Santa Barbara’s parks in Parents and Children in Parks.

“I love working with parents,” said Susan Lang, teacher of Parents and Children in Parks. Each week, families will visit a different park in Santa Barbara where she observes, “parents befriending one another, as their children are doing just steps away.”

In addition to these Parenting Education classes, parents may be interested in other classes and special workshops such as: Childbirth Yoga – Pregnancy, Labor, Birth and Postpartum and Healthy Foods for Children.

CLL offers selected parenting classes for Spanish speakers, and more than 500 classes in: Arts, Crafts, Performance; Body, Mind, Spirit; Business, Finance, Work; Events, Film, Words; and Home, Nature, Technical.
