Since 2001, Kohl's has partnered with Sanford Children's to provide support for kids' health and wellness. In this partnership, an abundance of parenting classes for Caregivers, Parents, and Grandparents has been developed, intended to educate all who attend on positive parenting techniques to create understanding of their children’s emotional and mental wellbeing.
Additional classes will be introduced throughout the course of the year to support the needs of the caregivers of the children in the communities served by Sanford Children’s.
