19th Annual Parent Institute Day: Strong Children, Strong Communities will bring over 700 parents, educators, child care providers, Early Intervention providers and volunteers together to network and learn about issues that affect all children and those that care for them. With a full program in English (26 workshops) and Spanish (17 workshops) held in three sessions. This year’s event focus is both timely and on-target as we will address violence that children in our area must face on a daily basis through a panel discussion of professionals that assist children with this challenge each day. Pam Oliver, from NBC television shall moderate the English panel discussion while Clara Lopez, from El Valor moderates our Spanish panel.  Other topics covered in our break-out sessions include topics for children of all ages from Infant Massage to Cyberspace: Teens and the Internet. We also have a number of sessions for special needs children including Autism, Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder and Financial Planning for your Child. We truly have sessions for all types of families.
