Family Partnership Agreement

Parents work with staff to develop a Family Partnership Agreement identifying the strengths and concerns of the family and prioritizing the family’s goals for the parents and child.

Resources

Family support specialists assist families in identifying and accessing resources in the community, which will help them, reach their goals.

Parent Informational Meetings

Monthly parent informational meetings are held to provide additional information regarding child development and/or parenting.

PACT
Parent and Child Together activities regularly invite parents to engage in classroom activities with their child

Home Visits and Conferences
Home visits allow us to make connections between the home and program settings. While focusing individualized attention on family strengths, interests and goals.
Conferences are valuable for building respectful relationships with parents and in developing a broad understanding of every child in the program.

Classroom Volunteers

Parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom.

"Parents play the most important role in providing the nurturing and stimulation that children require. By enhancing family interactions and relationships between parents and children we can help parents promote their children’s healthy development.”
