“Branches is on the forefront of early childhood development and is a resource for the most innovative and best practices in the field. Their community outreach programs are an invaluable resource.”
-Beth Sayoun – Teacher at Magic Years Nursery School
“The “mind blown” emoji perfectly captures how I feel every time I attend one of Patricia’s workshops. Quite literally, they make my heart burst with joy and inspiration for the possibilities she presents for classroom and home.”
-Mary Lim, Parent
“Patricia and the Branches staff have been such an amazing and critical part in my transition into mothering toddlers and school-aged children. From the very beginning, Branches had tools and techniques for how to parent in modern times. They emphasized how to keep family bonds strong, all while still living in LA with busy schedules. They instill this in their programs from the very beginning, but continue to remind and help parents when we can sometimes lose the way during difficult periods of life. The sense of community at Branches also becomes part of your family, which only strengthens and solidifies all of Patricia’s teachings into our household.”
– Ellen Davis, Parent
We offer courses on a wide range of topics from social emotional development to strategies and guidance on how to support children and families as we all traverse these challenging times together.
