Little Hands is committed to educating parents and encouraging them to get involved in their children’s education. Both are crucial to a child’s success. Parents are the students at Little Hands and attend classes with their children. Through observation, teacher-led group discussion, and classroom supervision, parents explore child development and gain confidence in their parenting role. 

In addition to two required night classes per school year, parents are invited to also attend optional extension classes in our Parenting Together Series which focus on the growth and development of young children and related parenting issues. Teachers or guest speakers lead discussions on specific topics such as sleeping, nutrition, positive discipline, sibling relations and choosing a preschool.
​Other benefits include:
  • A community of other families with young children to network and connect with.
  • Social events for just parents planned throughout the year.
  • One parent teacher conference during the year for each family.
  • Access to a lending library of parenting books throughout the school year.
  • As a member of the San Mateo Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools, Little Hands gives you access to professional counselors and consultants on a wide range of family-related issues for a reduced fee. A list of available services can be found via the SMCPPNS Family Consultant Service Directory.​
  • And, alumni access to events and extension classes.
