how i can help you
During Casa Parenting mentoring sessions, we work collaboratively to identify your parenting strengths and challenges, and use this knowledge to develop a plan of action with clear strategies to help you accomplish your goals.
As your parent mentor, I offer support, suggestions, and solutions as parenting situations arise or evolve. Parents will gain new perspectives and skills which they may carry with them as they continue their parenthood journey.

casa PHILOSOPHY
Positive
Discipline
Positive Discipline is a program developed by Dr. Jane Nelsen. It is based on the work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs and designed to teach young people to become responsible and resourceful members of their communities. Positive Discipline teaches important social and life skills such as self-discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and problem-solving in a manner that is deeply respectful.
Montessori Philosophy
The Montessori Philosophy is centered around building children's independence. Independence promotes confidence in the child as he learns through his own success and explorations. By providing an organized and hands-on environment at home, children will feel more included and productive. As a result, parents experience a calmer atmosphere and purposeful meaning in family life.
