The Parent Education Program:
Shoreline Community College
offers a unique parent education program
that consists of a child-centered preschool
laboratory setting and adult-centered lectures
and discussion groups.
In the preschool classroom
laboratory, parents become active partners
in their child's education. Research supports
the long-term benefits of this type of
early parent involvement. Skilled Shoreline
Community College faculty plan and implement
learning opportunities for both parents
and children. These learning experiences
help to empower parents to build on their
strengths.
The mission of this program
is to support parents as they become directly
involved in their children's education.
