We are a group of parents and educators seeking to open a charter early college high school in West Oakland. Even though Oakland remains plagued by astronomical dropout rates, a high school diploma is no longer a sufficient target for our kids. It's time to aim higher. At The Town High School Early College, our mission will be to take the same youth that some expect to drop out of high school and graduate them in four years with an associate's degree. Innovative, teaching-focused scholars will i …

This Meet up brings you interesting workshops and programs that help in not only making our task of parenting more fun, but also help us get a more holistic approach to parenting. The main philosophy behind it is - Happy Parents = Happy Children. Programs that help reduce stress and give insights into our children's mind will be conducted.

No parent should be alone in raising their challenging child. It truly takes a community to raise a child. Whatever labels we've had to attach to our child to describe them to our society, they are still individuals. There is no complex child manual, and still not a lot of educational material. I believe part of "winning" in this game of parent hood with our child is educating ourselves, some of the best education comes from other parents. You're not a bad parent.

This is a group interested in opening the doors to developing better relationships with your children, We look at our Parenting Styles, The Temperaments and Learning Styles of our kids; how we communicate with them, the effects that today's media has on their development, developing positive management programs incorporating their needs; How to set goals and shift experiences which keep on repeating themselves over and over again; developing healthy nutrional and exercise habits; How to be more …

Pregnancy is a time of transitions that can open your heart in ways unimaginable. Many of these are internal and spiritual, igniting people to look within for what is Divine and for the motivator and Creator of the universe. Sometimes, however, once the pregnancy is complete and parenting begins, many forget about these strivings and fall into a lull that leaves them hungry for something more, something real. This class will give you the tools needed in order to realize and fulfill your inter …
