The COR and your child s portfolio are shared during conferences Celebrations Because of the diversity of the families we serve, we recognize no religious holidays at the Children s Center. As a publicly funded institution, New Mexico Tech must be exceptionally careful in not appearing to promote a religion. We encourage each family to celebrate their holidays at home in the way that is most appropriate for their children. If a child initiates a discussion or activity related to a holiday they observe, we will listen respectfully and provide time and space for the child s activity. We will not introduce these discussions or activities.
Birthdays are a special time in our programs.
We are always happy to celebrate your child s birthday. If you have a birthday tradition that you would like to share with us, please make arrangements with your child s teacher. An idea we recommend for celebrating this special occasion is to have your child donate a book to the Children s Center library. We will write your child s name and birth date on the inside cover. Each time the book is read your child s contribution to the program is remembered.
