Babies do not come with instruction booklets, but our parent book is the next best thing! It lays the foundation for a strong mental, social, emotional and physical beginning for the new addition.

The Bowdoin Method I
10 or more workshops cover parenting from ages 3 to 6.

The Award Winning Bowdoin Method I was developed specifically for “low literacy” parents to help them become their child’s first and best teacher. Parents learn how to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of their children using this hands-on, interactive curriculum. Bowdoin focuses on training parents to recognize those important “everyday teachable moments” that every parent has with their child and how to take advantage of them. Making a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich becomes a pre-reading lesson with The Bowdoin Method. The instructor’s manual contains easy to follow step by step lesson plans that includes games, activities and role playing. Ten professional videos or DVDs, attractive parenting books and Child-O games (played like Bingo) reinforce all the parenting skills in a positive and upbeat manner. We will guarantee you fun and exciting parenting classes!

The Bowdoin Method I - Spanish
10 or more workshops cover parenting from ages 3 to 6.

The Nationally Validated Bowdoin Method I in Spanish contains the same high quality materials as our English curriculum and provides everything needed to begin lively parenting classes. The easy reading level and the child-like illustrations appeal to everyone. All of the components of our Bowdoin Method I English curriculum are a part of our Spanish curriculum as well. With The Bowdoin Method, parents learn the importance of focusing on each child as a unique individual and how to use good words to motivate their child. Walking around the block can become a lesson full of pre-reading skills such as; looking for items that are alike or different, what's missing and searching for letters of the alphabet in signs along the way. If children have a good beginning... if they are loved, nurtured and taught by their parents during their early years they will be able to achieve to their maximum potential.

Studies show that early and consistent nurturing has decisive and long lasting effects on how children develop and learn, how they cope with stress and control their emotions. Talking and playing as a family, even sharing a meal together, provides a rich sense of family belonging. The Bowdoin Method II helps “at-risk” parents to; partner with the school in the education of their children, reduce power struggles in the home, teach respect for self and others, and to be good role models for their children.
These are very challenging times for families, and Bowdoin II is a Big Help! Seven important parent book titles with corresponding videos or DVDs, seven educational (Child-O) games and a comprehensive instructor’s manual makes this curriculum a must for today’s families!
