The center believes that parent involvement is necessary to the success of any child care program.  Therefore, parents are always welcome to visit the program without prior notice.  Staff will take every opportunity to share verbally with you information about your child at the beginning and end of the day and over the phone or during annual parent-teacher conferences.  Staff will also communicate through daily information sheets, curriculum plans, and newsletters.  We encourage parents to volunteer any time and talents they may have.  We also encourage parents to attend Parent Committee Meetings, an oversight committee that meets regularly to support staff, problem solve, evaluate changes, plan special events, and conduct special projects.  Throughout the year, we schedule classroom and program events to help families have fun together and meet other families.  It’s always nice to have someone to relate to who is experiencing the same things you are.

Remember, we are in this together—partners!  Together we will work with your child so he or she is growing, learning, and developing secure attachments.  Some families think of the center staff as an extension of their family.  Our objective is to be as family friendly as possible, helping you successfully balance your work and family needs.  Together we can build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities to make a better future for all.
