News from Building Families

Building Families is offering a virtual nurture group series on Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 pm in October. These sessions will last about 45 minutes each. They are designed to help parents and their children connect on a deeper level. They promote connection, touch, and giving and receiving care from one another. We often use these nurture groups in our home sessions with families. Parents can sign up for one, or any, or all of the sessions. Register online at thornwellorg/nurturegroups.

We are excited to be able to offer this to families at this time. We know everyone is under a lot of stress and it can be a difficult time for families to feel connected.

We are open and the students are thriving. We even have a few openings available that we ask you to share with your neighbors. We have several spots in our 3’s and 4’s classes and places in Virtual Learning for children in Kindergarten-5th grade. Contact Lonnette Bruce, the SAS Director for information and registration, 770-934-1461
