Families and Community
Parents are children’s first teachers; thus, we believe that collaborating with families allow us to make well-informed curriculum decisions that ensure children’s meaningful learning experiences. We believe in building and maintaining meaningful relationships with families and our community. We respect and understand that families of different cultures and backgrounds may value different things when it comes to their children’s education and development. We welcome and value their contribution into our curriculum and day-to-day routines, so our program consists of families’ suggestions and regular feedback. Educators strive to work in close partnerships with families to provide high quality care and education for children within a warm, welcoming, and safe environment that feels like their second home.
