Upcoming For The 2025-2026 School Year
Three Options for 2025-2026 Parenting Support:
1. Attend My Next Parenting Class: Begins October 16th, 2025
Please join me for my next 8 week parenting class series at The Portland Montessori School, located at 205 NE 50th in Portland, OR. The class will meet from Thursday, October 16th – Thursday, December 11, 2025 from 5:30 – 7:45pm. To register, please click on the REGISTRATION button at the top of this page. More details and flyer coming soon. [Please Note: Registration is not yet open for this class, but you are welcome to contact me and get on the registration list.]
2. Host a Parenting Workshop/Class
Please reach out to me if you are interested in hosting a parenting class or workshop either at your school or for a group of parents. PTA’s and Community Engagement Committees have found having a parenting workshop at the school brings important discussions and support for parents and is a worthwhile educational evening for all. Following up with a parenting class series can have even more impact for the whole school or parenting community.
3. Individual Parenting Support
As always, I am available for one-on-one parent coaching. Please click on the contact section of the website to reach out for individual parent coaching. I’m here to help and support you.
Options for 2025-2026 Supports for Teachers and Schools:
Positive Discipline in the Classroom
As a former Montessori and Public School Teacher, I am passionate about sharing Positive Discipline with teachers and whole schools. I am certified to help schools implement both Positive Discipline in the Classroom and Positive Discipline for Early Childhood Educators. I am available to facilitate professional development for school staff and administration. My services range from introductory workshops to helping schools implement this trauma informed, restorative social emotional learning curriculum at the whole school level. Please contact me to discuss what this might look like at your school. To learn more about Positive Discipline in the Classroom please visit: https://positivediscipline.org/
The Happenings Mat
I am trained in facilitating ‘The Happenings Mat’ workshops, which is a marvelous tool to support preschoolers, teachers, and families with communication, self-regulation, and problem solving. Heather Kindem, of Tacoma, WA, has created a mat that helps our youngest students use Nonviolent/Compassionate Communication with themselves and others. I am available to bring this 2.5 hour training to preschools and groups of families to share this wonderful resource. Please contact me to set up a workshop.
