Friends With Class is San Diego's most unique catalog of classes and events. We offer activities created with friends who enjoy quality experiences and unique learning opportunities.
As parents, we are always trying to balance what life can offer with our own every day responsibilities. So we decided to create a catalog of classes and events that would offer a fun way to meet others who also sought quality experiences with their children.
We believe that having fun and meeting new people are as much a part of the tailored class experience as the learning moment itself. And we have found many interesting ways to learn something of value along with your babies, toddlers and children -- or sometimes just with mom and dad on a fun date night out!
From Photograpy With Your Toddler, to Cooking classes with local chefs, CPR & First Aid, Wonderfun for the little ones, Wine Tasting for parents and special events to support local non-profits, the Friends With Class catalog contains something for everyone. And gift certificates are now offered for a thoughful and unique way to celebrate a special occassion.
This Parenting Center is incredible! The founder, Susie Walton, has set up over 30+ services & classes available for Parents, Teens and Children. Susie offers the ever enriching: Redirecting Children's Behavior Workshop (which I must admit, changed my life as a parent)! The center also offers Nanny training and placement and wonderful childrens playgroups. However, I believe some of the other nurturing services offered, such as facials & massages (for those of you weary from mommy duties) are equally enhancing! Take a peek at their website!
