Parent Education Center
We are excited to announce the pending launch of a Parent Education Center (PEC) in Queens. The program will be the first in the borough to serve parents within the Jewish day school community and will officially begin offering services in time for the 2021-22 school year. Participants from Kew Gardens, Kew Gardens Hills, Forest Hills, Jamaica Estates, Rego Park and Far Rockaway are welcome. Through a virtual center with a dedicated staff, parents will be eligible to receive guidance, counseling and participate in workshops at no cost if they have a child that receives DOE services through the Title I program.
The NYC Department of Education has tapped Hidden Sparks, an agency serving families of struggling students in mainstream Jewish day schools, to open a Parent Education Center in Queens
