Participation

A parent’s involvement and participation is not only important to the child but to the center as well. By working together and sharing information, the best personal care can be achieved by the staff and the center. We welcome parents to be active participants in the daily events of the center with visits and interactions with their child and their peers. Parents have the opportunity to chaperone field trips, help with your child’s birthday, help with holiday parties, or participate in various activities such as reading books or doing a fun activity with your child’s class. Staff work to connect with parents on a daily basis to share progress or updates on the child’s successes at the center. Parents may request a parent conference with the child’s teacher at any time to have a more formal conversation, if needed.

Communication

Proper communication between parents and staff is extremely important. Teachers will send homeinformation when supplies are needed or if there is a special occasion such as dress up days. Infants will be receiving a daily report as to how your child’s day was, what had happened throughout the day, and if your child will need any supplies for the following day(s). Each family will have a hanging file folder by the office, and each child will have a cubby located by their classroom. Please check these daily for any notes, newsletters, or any other important information. Parents are welcome to arrange a meeting with your child’s teacher or the director if there are any questions, concerns, or even to become more familiar with them. The child care will start holding conferences twice a year for any parent who would like to meet with their child/ren’s teacher(s). These will occur in April and November each year. We will begin conferences in November of 2023. Sign-up sheets and information will be sent out a couple weeks prior for any parent interested in signing up.
