How it works
CPRT in-person group program
This small-group experience brings together 5 to 8 parents for 10 weeks of guided, in-person learning. Sessions are held weekly for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Total investment: $400. Let us know if you’d like to be part of the next cohort!
Individual CPRT coaching program

Frequently asked questions
How is CPRT different from any other parenting curriculum?
- Don’t worry you’re not expected to revamp your whole routine. With CPRT, you’ll gradually learn one skill per week and try it out during playtime with your child. This slower pace helps you actually retain what you learn.
- You’ll also discover how powerful play can be for connection. Kids communicate through toys, and CPRT taps into that natural language.
- Unlike many programs, CPRT is backed by research and officially recognized by SAMHSA as evidence-based.
What is expected from the parent:
What makes CPRT stand out? Simplicity, connection, and evidence. You won’t be overwhelmed with information; you'll gain one skill per week and try it out in playful, 30-minute home sessions. CPRT focuses on play because it’s the most natural language of children. Plus, it’s more than just a curriculum, it's officially recognized by SAMHSA as an evidence-based method.
Will my insurance cover the cost of CPRT?
For group classes, we don’t bill insurance directly. But if you’re doing CPRT individually, we can give you a superbill that you can send to your insurance. There's a chance they’ll cover part of it!
