Parent Involvement

 Parent Visitations
Our Center is focused on the child, while providing an environment that is supportive to both parent and teachers. Your involvement is encouraged. Parents are always welcome to visit our Center and are especially invited to participate in field trips and special events.

Parent Meetings
Parent meetings are held two times per year. The format for these meetings varies and may include brown bag lunch, parent education sessions and large group meetings. This is an opportunity for parents and teachers to get to know one another better, to make Center announcements (often involving policies), and to solicit parent suggestions and feedback. Additionally, guest speakers are often invited to address topics of interest to parents. We welcome suggestions for discussion topics; parent involvement is important to us.

Parent Conferences
Parent conferences are regularly scheduled once per year, usually in the Spring, and are also scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time by parent request. Together teachers and parents make plans and set goals for meeting the child’s individual needs.

Bulletin Boards
A parent bulletin board is located in the lobby of the Child Development Center. The bulletin board provides an information center for the posting of program information and announcements.

Newsletters
Monthly newsletters are distributed to families. These newsletters include program announcements, upcoming calendars and other information of interest to families.
