The Parent Learning Series

For parents and caregivers, the Parent Learning Series gives you the tools and confidence to support your child’s growth - in Jewish Day School and beyond.

Empowering parents. Supporting students.

Want to help your child build confidence and navigate social challenges? Worried that your child isn't reaching their potential at school?

Parenting in the 21st century has become increasingly complex. Jewish families have the added challenges of children in dual-curriculum schools, navigating the beauty and complexity of religious traditions, and fostering Jewish identity when aspects of learning can be difficult.

How Hidden Sparks helped me help my child

"Before I started using Hidden Sparks’ parent services, I felt that I was alone trying to figure out the best way to navigate my children’s challenges and ways to help them. Having a person like Ethel, Director of the Parent Education Center, helped me to feel that I am not alone and gave me strength and mental clarity to be able to support my kids academically and emotionally."
