KIT (Keep-in-touch)

Approximately one month after completion of the Behavioral Intervention program a one-hour virtual check-in is scheduled for each parent room group to touch base with our families.

Topics may include fostering positive sibling relationships, coping with changes in the home environment (moving, additions to the family, playdates and overnight guests, etc.) advocacy in the CPS school system, and more. Space is limited. Registration required. COST: pay $20 each for a single session or pay $100 for all 6 (i.e. buy 5 get 1 free!

*Program currently on hold

The first Friday of every month in-person drop-in sessions are offered to parent alumni to take a deep dive into relevant subjects impacting our TC community, including those with older school-aged children. First Fridays, like our BI parent program, will provide hands on materials such as readings and now additional take home materials to begin implementing positive concepts immediately (ex. Visual schedules) at home. This new program also creates a space for parents to connect with our broader TC community. First Fridays meets from 9:30 to 12:00 alongside our Friday Friends program and has the capacity to offer Behavioral Intervention support for children ages 2 to 6. Space is limited. Registration required.

First Friday of every month from 9:30 AM – 12:00 in the Parent Room.
