Families

The Pendergast Family Resource Center provides adult-child interactive classes for children from birth to five years old prior to starting kindergarten. Classes focus on developmentally appropriate skills to help prepare children for success in kindergarten. Parents and caregivers are the first and most important teacher for their children. We help to support this important role by sharing targeted skill development in classes and encouraging parents and caregivers to duplicate the task with common materials found at home.
