The Parenting Center

The Parenting Center and the TEACH Institute have joined forces! Under the leadership of director Colleen Eisenbeiser, The Parenting Center will now share staff and resources with the TEACH Institute. According to founding director Dr. Lou Aymard, "This is a win-win for both programs. The TEACH Institute has a wealth of resources that The Parenting Center can benefit from, and The Parenting Center has a large pool of highly credentialed experts and instructors who the TEACH Institute is proud to be working with."

Dr. Aymard will continue to play a key role in the oversight of The Parenting Center as an advisory board member, instructor, and valued colleague. And while his return to being a full-time professor of psychology at AACC is a loss to the staff who enjoyed working with him, we know that AACC’s credit students are thrilled to have him back in the classroom. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Lou Aymard!
