Parent Involvement Calendar
The Child Development Center faculty and
staff believe that parental involvement in
education is necessary for children to
receive the quality education they will need
to succeed in the future. Therefore, we
want
to
encourage
our
parent,
grandparents, and other family members to
take an active part in the center’s activities.
There are many things you can do to help
encourage your child’s opportunities to
learn.
