There will be a separate program for children so that parents can safely focus on their own relationship. The schedule follows the adult day program. Children will be individually cared for at different developmental and age groups. The youngest children will each have their own safe carer for the whole event.
The children’s program can accommodate the first 20 registrations. The children’s program will take place at the campus area.
The course fee includes lectures, course materials and assignments, as well as meals included in the program.
The course fee for children includes childcare and the meals indicated in the program. A small snack is also provided for children during childcare.
For meals with six or more food allergies, an additional fee will be charged. Lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and fish-free diets do not incur an additional charge. Any food allergies should be mentioned at the time of registration so that the kitchen can make provisions for them.
Participants who are trained as small group leaders by Parempi avioliitto ry are eligible for the group leader discount.
