The program’s relationship with parents is of paramount importance. We recognize that parents are the first and most important teachers a child has. Active parental involvement in the extended care program is continually encouraged. Parents are welcome at any time and we encourage them to come have lunch with their child as often as they can. Parents will be kept informed about their child’s day via a written note or by the caregiver upon pickup. Look for these in your child’s backpack.
