I got one of these flyers from our nursery too and i didn't find it patronising.
It just looked like a class where parents could get together with other parents and give tips, have a chat about what works and what doesn't and talk to outsiders about problems they may see a solution for.
She could have put it in a nicer way 'teaching us to be better parents' is not the best way of saying it but i don't think thats what its about anyway.
The leaflet says its to "bring out the best in your children,give you support,increase your confidence and share ideas".
I think our area needs something like this-i know those that are considered bad parents are not likely to attend but if even one family gets something from the 12 week course i think its worth it.......and its free which is even better
