Parent Education through Parent Child Participation

Parent Education through Parent Child Participation is a Community Education program for children ages 2 to 4. Two-year-olds take part in circle time, outdoor play, and hands-on activities while parents discuss the developmental demands of parenting a two-year-old. Three-year-olds and their parents observe and interact during preschool activities, with Thursday lab classes that include small groups, independence, creative and sensory play, and social skills. Pre-K children entering kindergarten in 2026 take part in a program that models Downey Unified School District kindergarten, with weekly discussions on social skills, discipline, advocacy, independence, and kindergarten readiness.
