Schaumburg Parent University is designed to involve more parents/guardians in their schools, to strengthen family relationships, and to improve parenting skills that will ultimately result in improved student success academically, socially and emotionally. Two types of classes are offered: Practical Parenting for adults only and Time Together, where families learn and play together. Most classes are free and childcare is provided.
