Classes for Parents and Children

Join other families for fun, socialization and information-sharing in a safe, supervised environment for children 0-36 months. We welcome one or both parents to participate. Children and parents interact together for supervised activities including music and movement. Learn about research-based early learning techniques from a parent educator and discuss common parenting concerns with a special focus on the brain. Fees are $88 per person (your infant/toddler is free) for an eight-week session. Register in parents' name and include child's name and birth date.

Local Kiwanis Clubs provide scholarships to participants in Bates' family programs based on availability of funds and need and circumstances for parenting classes throughout the South Puget Sound region. Call 253.680.7500 to learn if you qualify.

Mommy and Me Tea

Join other moms and babies (0-12 mos.) from noon to 1 p.m. for an afternoon of socializing and tea. Talk with a parent/child specialist for support in parenting your new baby. Call 253.680.7500 for more information.
