Lunch Club

Join us for Lunch Club, a relaxed monthly parenting group where we share a healthy meal and conversation. Each session includes a nutritious lunch followed by a guided discussion on relevant parenting topics such as family routines, self-care, positive parenting strategies, family mealtimes and managing everyday stress. It’s a chance to nourish both your body and your mind while connecting with other caregivers. Whether you're looking for new ideas or just a break in your day, Lunch Club is a space to recharge and grow together.


This class is for caregivers of children ages 0–5. Babies ages 0–6 months are welcome to stay with their caregiver during parent discussion time. To help everyone enjoy and fully participate in the conversation, children ages 6 months through 5 years who will be attending must be registered for Sibling Care.

Lunch will be provided for children enrolled in Sibling Care.

Working as an ECFE Parent Educator for 32 years I have come full circle with families that brought their babies to class and now working with those babies who are adults raising their own children and coming to classes.  I feel very privileged to have had the most satisfying experience teaching parenting skills to so many families.  I am a native Albert Lean, married with two grown children who are both married and am fortunate to have two beautiful granddaughters.  Teaching baby, toddler, and special parenting classes, I have formed very good relationships with parents through ECFE. I look forward to creating even more meaningful memories in the upcoming year ahead.
