(in person)

 

Ongoing Elective Training for Licensed Foster Parents

This is an in-person class that will be held at the Crown Kids salon inside the Elevate Office Suites at Liberty Center, 7100 Foundry Row, Liberty Township OH  45069

Join us for a presentation by Cecilia Knox and Crown Kids Hair Care

CROWNKids was created to help take the stresses of hair care away! That’s right, Cecilia offers products,  small group workshops and one-on-one classes that are customized just for you. CROWNkids is the key to unlock all the knowledge you need on products, tools, regimens, maintenance and MORE! 

As a foster and adoptive family, Cecilia understands first hand, the unique needs and challenges these families face. Although it may sound minimal task to some, hair care is major hurdle to overcome. The community service aspect of our business is essential to our mission. Crown Club was created to “lend a hand” and offer a safe space to discuss, learn, and encourage our families in their hair journey. Cecilia and her team explore “teachable moments” in a fun environment while promoting positive self worth through affirmations. Crown Club has partnered with numerous local agencies to offer monthly hair care classes for parents and their children in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. 

Please reserve one ticket per attendee.
