- Student assessments and parent/ teacher conferences throughout the year.
- Weekly curriculum highlights, calendars, and newsletters posted on the Parent Web Resource Center.
- End-of-day activity reports so you can 'carry the lesson home.'
- Web cam service to see into your child's classroom throughout the day, via the Internet.
- Ongoing parent workshops and seminars, led by child development experts and early education specialists."
