Parent Toddler Course

This five day day course will prepare catechists who have completed a CGS Level I course to adapt the methodology and content of the 3-6 atrium for toddlers and their parents. Course Leader Davette Himes has been offering a two-hour session for toddlers and parents at All Saints Episcopal Church in Alexandria VA for over ten years and offered the first US Parent Toddler course in July 2016. Join her to discover how the Toddler Atrium and parent education can be a powerful ministry to families in parishes, as well as evangelization and outreach. The course will concentrate on incorporating CGS in the home, living the church year, and creating a toddler atrium, as well as the spiritual life of the young child, supporting their growth and development and fostering independence through purposeful work, and helping parents and parish to live out the baptismal covenant.
