Caregiver Education
One of the things that makes JMPNS a unique program is our commitment to the whole family. We recognize that by supporting the important adults in a child's life, we are also supporting the child.
Each enrolled family at JMPNS are required to attend 12 hours of Caregiver Education over the course of the school year. Depending on the needs of the family, these parent/caregiver education hours can be attained in a variety of ways: attend the free monthly Caregiver Support Classes hosted by JMPNS, read a relevant parenting book by yourself or with a group of friends, or attend an online or in person parenting class or seminar presented by another organization.
