PARENT LAB:  Using Play and Art to Strengthen the Parent/Child Connection (Elementary) 

Monday, September 28, 2026
6:00-7:30PM
Island Park Elementary Library

Connection is the key to a strong parent/child relationship and play and art are a perfect way to build this connection!  This PARENT LAB will be facilitated by YFS School-Based Counselors, Anna Frohardt (Northwood) and Joy Cain (Island Park) who both hold degrees in Art Therapy. Join us to learn about the concept of “Love Languages” to help you better understand your child; learn about the importance of play; and engage in a guided art activity (no experience or artistic talent required!)
