The center communicates through monthly newsletters, monthly child diaries, whats happening logs and through casual conversation. We also have a parent staff educator from one of the local community colleges that facilitates trainings for families and center staff. Parent teacher conferences are held twice a year.

Director's Comments
We ask that families bring their child/children in at a set time everyday to acclimate their child/children into our program. This helps build a routine for children as well as the center staff. When children first start they are often upset, we give them plenty of attention and reassurance that their family member will be back for them later in the day.
