Interested in a Parenting Class?

Whether you’re looking for new ways to support your child’s learning, strengthen communication at home or simply connect with other parents and caregivers, Monterey Adult School is here to support you.

Contact Monterey Adult School for registration information, class availability and additional details.

Note: Since today is September 17, I would remove the Family Meals Challenge from the live webpage unless you want it there as an example of classes offered—it ended September 9. Also, the Parenting Partners class has already begun, so I might phrase that one as “Now underway — contact us to ask about availability” if students can still enroll.
