ARK’s program aims to inspire better-equipped childcare workers. These online courses provide 55 clock hours of Texas state-approved training. The classes are designed for both directors and workers.

Parenting Classes for Divorce

ARK for Divorcing Parents is designed to support families who are going through or have gone through a divorce. The program is an approved course for state-mandated training associated with filing for legal divorce.

Online Parenting Classes

ARK for Parents and Caregivers teaches parents to apply the principle of unconditional love in an attentive parenting model that builds a child’s self-concept. The program is offered in both English and Spanish.

Our mission is simple; kids who feel loved do better. In today’s world, we hear it in the news every day,  a new school shooting, bullying or suicide. These are all symptoms of the root cause, emotional illness, not to be confused with mental illness. The ARKGroup is committed to training the adults in our children’s lives, from parents, teachers, and caregivers to love unconditionally.

We have created parenting classes and courses designed specifically to provide a positive, culture-changing influence in the world in which we live. Our court-mandated divorce classes address the needs of a child to help minimize the emotional damage to children.

We also provide an extensive list of classes for schools and educators to help them develop nurturing classrooms. Creating environments where children feel loved and respected, means they are far less likely to act out in a violent manner.
