Director's Comments
Our program has at least 2 parent/teacher conferences per program year. The first one is within the first 60 days of your child's first day in the program. The teacher will share with you what we have determined to be your child's strengths and areas of needing development. During the conference, the teacher will share what will be done in the classroom and what you can do at home to support this development. Throughout the program year, there are monthly parent meetings. They are governed by parents and there is a large parent education component. Nutrition, child development, child behavior, community resources and guest speakers are all part of these meetings.
