Early Learner’s childcare believes in active communication with parents. You are welcome to visit or call anytime during the day. Parents are also invited to participate in classroom activities by sharing a song or story, family tradition, or simply spending some time during the day.
Communication boards in each classroom, as well as a general board in the front lobby, ensure that all important information is disseminated to families. Teachers privide parents with a daily written report of the child’s personal habits, i.e. eating, diapering/toileting, napping, etc. An account of classroom activities is documented through a board (updated daily), a monthly curriculum posting and a calendar of events.
Teachers also provide parents with verbal information on their child’s accomplishments of the day during pick-up time.
