Parenting in Early Years (English & Spanish)

Parenting in the Early Years (PITEY) is offered in both English and Spanish and is a 9-week parenting program for parents and caregivers of children birth to six years. The PITEY program is part of Program Without Walls (PWW) and is one of a range of programs offered that are linguistically and culturally modified to meet the diverse needs of families. PWW’s goal is to strengthen families and enhance the development and well-being of children living in difficult situations. The long-term goal of PITEY is to promote healthy child development. A children’s group runs in conjunction with the parenting program and provides a wide range of skill-building activities for the children attending the program. The program is offered in partnership with The Macaulay Centres for Children.

Our upcoming in-person session of “Parenting in the Early Years” English will take place from May 7th to June 25th, 2025, running every Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. A light meal will be offered at 5:30 PM, and TTC tickets for participants to get to and from the group will be provided. Registration is required and closes on Friday, April 25th, 2025.

Topics include: Child development, Parent-child relationship and interactions, parenting techniques, problem-solving, transition and the importance of play. Includes children’s activity and skill building groups.
