Skip Hop-with Kirkwood Parents as Teachers
Welcome to SkipHop--the Kirkwood Parents as Teachers podcast, hosted by the Kirkwood School District Parent Educators. We are a group of trained and certified parent educators offering information, support, and resources on a variety of parenting topics, focusing on early childhood. The topics we discuss are based on submissions from parents in our community. We are not therapists and our input is not a substitute for recommendations or advice from a medical or mental health professional. You can find out more about what we do on our website: www.kirkwoodpat.com
