Teachers seek an active partnership with parents.
We invite you to meet with your child's teacher so that you will understand how you can reinforce what is taught in your child's classroom. This is a term that describes the approach we use to engage your child. We celebrate the uniqueness of children and value their differences. We know that children develop in different ways and at different rates toward the developmentally appropriate goals we have set. In an environment that is nurturing, supportive and motivating, we plan learning opportunities specifically designed to meet the individual needs of each child.
