Parent Education at The Children’s Garden
Our legal name is Issaquah Valley Family Education, reflecting education for children and family alike, is a core value of our school.
From staff led informational meetings to online parent classes, coming together with our Garden community to compare notes, share experiences and ask questions is a unique and powerful experience.
