"Parent and School Communication
Parents are a vital link to the complete development of their child. Therefore, to reflect positive attitudes toward your child's education it is important to become involved in his or her school environment.
Here at Action Day Nursery/Primary Plus we incorporate special events throughout the year to encourage parent communication and participation as well as an opportunity to meet other parents.
All of these family events are held during convenient hours during the day or early evening, allowing for all parents to come and spend quality time with their child at school.
Parents are welcome to initiate and help with special events such as field trips, parties, or holiday celebrations.
We are pleased to have your input and make your talents part of our learning environment. Please feel free to discuss your ideas with the teachers and Director.
Parents will be informed of the latest developments and announcements of the school through a monthly newsletter and calendar identifying your child's weekly themes and activities. This will help to link together the school and the home.
Please let us know if there are any special instructions for the day by filling out a Daily Infant Care Record. This will help inform the Primary Caregiver of how they can best meet your child's needs at the center and relay information about your child's day.
Toddler Tales
Toddler Tales are usually issued daily to let you know how your child's day went."

My kids both attended child care at the same center prior to entering the pre-school program. Neither of my kids had trouble adjusting to preschool, in part because they were already familiar with the surroundings and teachers. The teachers are great at welcoming the kids and getting them into activities when they are dropped off.

A Great Book Rhymes!
Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and
