Savvy Source's Comments
"Parent Participation Chibi Chan recognizes the critical role of Parent involvement and how it can dramatically influence a child's self-esteem and motivation to learn. Therefore, each family is asked to volunteer at least twice a year during their child's participation at Chibi Chan. Parents can volunteer for field trips, as well as in other classroom activities, parent advisory meetings, and fund-raisers. A great deal of emphasis is placed on building relationships with families through good communication and parent involvement. The staff at Chibi-Chan also welcomes any parent feedback, concerns and ideas, which help benefit the growth and development of the program." Extracted from preschool's website
