Director's Comments
Parent Involvement Plan includes three goals for parent involvement: To be informed of the what, how and why of your child's education, to be kept up-to-date on your child's progress and to participate meaningfully in your child's education. The Education Plan and Curriculum Night provide a comprehensive explanation of what the children will be doing during the school year, while parent conferences, newsletters and iPhotos keep parents up-top-date on their children's activities and progress. Family/school events provide opportunities for parents to meet. A bound scrapbook of the year's activities is provided to parents at the end of the year.

Director's Comments
Children attend an Ice Cream Social to meet their classmates and teacher, while remaining secure with their parent. An orientation period the first few weeks provides activities that reflect both the pleasures of friends and school activities (e.g., baking cookies, drama, games, face painting) and the challenges community life. Early instruction includes the basics of early learning and social skills (e.g., listening to others, how to ask for something you want, raising your hand to speak, etc.) that allow a young child to happily participate in group activities and interact with new friends.
