Preferred Parenting of Naples
I offer a wide variety of classes in addition to services to parents and their children. I teach a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course, approved by DCF per stature 61.21. This court ordered course is for parents with minor children desiring to divorce. We discuss everything from communication, to co-parenting and everything in between.
I also teach "Preparing for Baby, an introductory class. It is followed by the "Wonderful World of the Newborn" Course, which covers in great detail, the first three months of life. I also developed a new course for future Grandparents called "The Cool Grandparent". In this course we discuss how theories and philosophies have changed, while others remain the same. From safety to the 5 S's, safe sleep and far more.
I started out as a teacher of preschool through 7th grades. I loved working with children and involved the family as much as possible. I then found a job as a Residential Supervisor of mentally, medically and physically involved children and adults. I attended graduate school for psychology, behavior therapy and began to write all programs, develop behavior plans etc. Moving to Naples, FL put me back into the education field, as a director, Educational Consultant and Executive Director of a private preschool. It was then I began developing curricula for every age group. I began to enjoy the creating of courses and that led to my writing a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course for the department of children and families. I became a certified parent instructor and greatly enjoyed helping parents who were going to divorce. I then added additional classes and behavior assessments. Our business is going stronger than ever, with new services to be added in the near future.
