Parent Involvement

Families are invited to actively participate in the program by volunteering their time or skills. It is vital for families to become involved in their child’s experience at the Y; so many opportunities are designed during the year for family participation. This kind of participation is supportive of the children, as well as the teaching program. Parents are encouraged to be involved directly in the child’s classroom.

Parent Committees may include……

School Events Committee: This committee organizes special school events. Examples include Halloween games, fall planting or messy art day.

Fundraising Committee:-This committee plans fundraising events. All money raised goes directly to the preschool program.

Teacher Appreciation Committee: This committee plans thoughtful surprises for the staff.

Parent Mixer Committee: This committee plans events so that parents get to know each other.

Parents may also share a hobby or skill with the children or staff.
