Parent/Guardian Involvement
Throughout the year, teachers will meet with parents/guardians to review their child's progress through meetings at the center. The conferences will be scheduled at the convenience of the family. Additionally, parents/guardians will receive weekly information regarding their child's progress and development. We encourage parents/guardians to visit and participate in our program in any way that their schedule allows.
