At Eden Prairie Schools, we believe that you are never done learning. That’s why our Community Education program offers hundreds of classes on topics from cooking to yoga!
The program will provide a designated space for students who are looking for quiet time or spend supervised time in the gym and outside for students who are interested in exercising or playing active games with friends.
Our youth program ignites new interests and challenges students in a fun, safe and supportive atmosphere.

For enrolling others in a Community Education Program
In this five-week online class, we will discuss ways to be a more mindful parent by learning how to respond rather than react in stressful parenting situations. Mindful parenting means that you bring your conscious attention to what’s happening instead of getting seized by your emotions. Managing our own emotions and behaviors are key to teaching our children how to manage theirs. Parenting young children can be difficult; let’s support each other and learn skills to be more mindful of our responses to our children.
Zoom links will be sent via email upon registration. $27 per five-week session
