Each child comes into this world seeking a secure relationship with their caregivers. The Circle of Security Program helps promote that security. It is an 8 week relationship-based early intervention program that offers caregivers a path to a secure attachment. This workshop will help you become aware of their needs and whether your own responses meet those needs.
Learn more about Circle of Security found on their website. Please contact Whitney Smith, Director of Family Engagement to sign up for the next workshop.
