At Midtown, we are aware that nobody goes to school to get a degree in parenting. Nor do babies come delivered with manuals under their arm for proper education in becoming good persons, wonderful citizens and useful human beings for their families and society.

Midtown’s Parenting Program has been carrying out the sole purpose of being a resourceful tool for you, the Midtown families. Its aim is to enrich you as parents, so that you become better primary educators of your children.

With different activities and events, the Parenting Program serves in helping you to understand and cope with the difficult developmental changes that all children pass through. Tips to help improve your family life are typically geared so that you realize that you, not only as a parent, but as an individual, should become a better and happier person.   

Let me list some of the important activities that Midtown has for you:

Monthly Program Parent Meetings: In these meetings we discuss a topic of general interest to the parents, of the students in that particular program, in accordance to student’s average age.

“W-U-W” (While you Wait Meetings): Meetings that are held while you wait for your son to end his session. These meetings are formal <Training for Parents> because the topics are sequential, and carry over from week to week. They are held in Midtown’s first floor living room, every program day.

Father and Son Nights: In these “get-togethers”, fathers and sons have lots of fun watching and discussing a selected movie with pizza and pop.

Private Orientation Meetings: Periodically, parents, sons and other family members meet with the program manager, Arturo Baranda, to deal with family issues, personal problems or couple issues.

As you can see, there are many activities within the Parenting Program, where you will find the ideas, advise, or information you were looking for to improve yourself as a father, mother, or to make your family life happier and worthy to be lived.

I’ll see you soon!
