We close the morning with a puppet show and good-bye verse and song. We have at least one parent evening without children per ten week session where we have the luxury of uninterrupted conversation. Parents say that the program enriches their family life. They get ideas about celebrating festivals at home and gain skills in ways to include their children in their day to day tasks of living. New friendships are formed which often last for years.
Parents feel respected and supported in their important task.
Through receiving the weekly school newsletter and being invited to participate in whole school festivals and fund raising events, the first links to the greater school community begin to be built. This page maintained by Robert F. Lathe and Nancy Parsons.
