What if a simple conversation could bring you and your child closer? Join us at the Parent Center for Community Circles, Part 1 with Ms. Lily—an interactive workshop where you’ll learn simple ways to create meaningful conversations with your child, share feelings, and better understand each other.
Take what you learn home and start conversations that go beyond “How was your day?”
We hope to see you there!

Lily: un taller interactivo donde aprenderás maneras sencillas de tener conversaciones significativas con tu hijo, compartir sentimientos y comprenderse mejor.
Lleva lo aprendido a casa y comienza conversaciones que vayan más allá de “¿Cómo estuvo tu día?”
¡Esperamos verte allí!
