Parents’ Education Class

Parents’ Education Class

Parents’ Education Class, arranged in 1996, is 30 years old since it was founded in 1997. It provides the opportunities for the parents to learn and share experiences, build up the right education concept to advance the cooperation between school and family, and promote love for community and harmonious family. Its goal is “growing up warmly and sharing knowledge.” The members have made every endeavor to develop this learning organization to its capacity, and keep offering excellent courses for parents and community inhabitants, which has a positive influence on community development. For years, the quality of the curriculums and members have stayed at a certain level, and were awarded as the excellent group by Taipei Municipal Government. It is truly a model group of life-long learning, which has achieved the goal of promoting social education.

 

【Evolution and Deepening: A Modern Vision for Parenting】
As society evolves, so too does our curriculum. In recent years, we have placed a significant focus on three core pillars to meet the needs of modern families:

 

  • Social Emotional Learning (SEL): We guide parents in understanding emotion management and empathy, helping children build the resilience needed to navigate complex social environments and develop sound mental health.
  • Positive Parenting: We advocate for a shift from traditional discipline to interactions rooted in mutual respect and communication, strengthening the emotional bond between parents and children.
  • Parental Personal Growth: We firmly believe that “happy parents raise happy children.” Our programs incorporate self-awareness and mindfulness practices, supporting parents as they manage stress, rediscover their self-worth, and find balance between their parenting roles and personal lives.

 

By maintaining high standards for both our courses and our community members, we continue to drive a virtuous cycle in social education. We sincerely invite every parent to join us—to grow alongside your children, embrace personal transformation, and discover a better version of yourself.
