PARENT / TEACHER CONFERENCES

Each year, all parents have the opportunity to meet individually with the lead or mentor teacher in their child’s classroom. At that time, teachers will share, if requested, their screenings and assessments regarding the child’s development. The teachers will make suggestions for maximizing potential strengths and work with parents to identify goals.

Parents will have the opportunity to ask questions about their child or the program. It is a primary goal that these sessions will help parents better understand how their child functions in a group care setting. This is also an opportunity for parents to share concerns and ask questions.

These conferences are not the only opportunity for such discussions. Either parents or teachers can request an individual meeting at any time questions or concerns arise. These meetings will be scheduled in a timely manner.

DAILY COMMUNICATION

 We recognize that parents often need current information about their child’s sleeping, eating and toileting routines, as well as their behavior while in care. Because of the number of children in care and varying pick-up and drop-off times, these communications must often be brief. In the younger age groups, communication about eating, sleeping, and toilet is provided daily. Please be aware that teachers continue to be responsible to the whole group and it may be best to schedule a meeting time with the teacher if you wish a more extensive conversation.
