Each child's family is an important partner in the daily care and education of their children. Staff members strive to know each child as an individual and to work in partnership with the family to know, understand and plan appropriate learning experiences for each child in their care. Formal conferences scheduled twice a year are structured opportunities for families and teachers to share information about each child's learning and development. We communicate daily through the use of the Brightwheel application and classroom white boards along with weekly newsletter.
