Welcome to St. Bede Parent Ed

INTRODUCING ST. BEDE'S NEW PARENT EDUCATION PROGRAM 

FOR PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, OR CAREGIVERS
OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN AGES 0-5 YEARS

Fall 2023 Program Kicks off September 5

PEACE & Play: Parent Education and Catholic Enrichment
Educating Parent, Nurturing Families, and Creating Memories.

PEACE (Parent Education and Catholic Enrichment) & Play continues with the same format of our long running parent education program at St. Bede which was started by Jo Ann Gantus back in 2010 -- a side by side learning experience for parents and their preschool aged children. The newly launched program also incorporates additional elements that distinguish our unique program from others in our community.

Faith filled classes based on Catholic teachings and traditions provide a safe environment where parents can come to class, relax, and find peace while the kids play and parents bond with fellow parents

PEACE & Play fulfills a much needed niche for Catholic families and their children between baptism and the start of their elementary school education. While Catholic prayers and traditions are used in our classes, being Catholic is not a requirement. Classes are open to parishioners and non-parishioners alike. All are welcome.
