Parents are an important part of the success of our program. Your involvement is important to us. Some main responsibilities are volunteer in the classroom, attend parent/family activities when applicable, be available for 2 home visits and 2 parent/teacher conferences, read our monthly newsletter, open communication with staff and Early Childhood Director, complete all forms before enrollment and throughout the year, when necessary. 

Children will not be expelled or excluded because of the need of additional development, medical or behavioral support, or toileting assistance. If a situation arises that requires additional support for your child, we will work with you on a plan to help support your child.
