Parent Participation |

 |
Development and implementation of a quality program for children is best accomplished with the support and participation of parents. Parental involvement is an integral part of our program. The center has an “open door” policy which encourages parents to drop by to observe their child or spend some time with them during the day.
Parent/Teacher conferences are held twice a year, at the end of each semester. Impromptu meetings are held anytime there is a need. Daily communication between teachers and parents is strongly encouraged. Workshops and parent meetings are scheduled throughout the year dealing with topics such as curriculum, child development issues, nutrition, difficult behaviors, etc.. Ideas for workshops and parent meetings are always welcomed.
Parent Code of Responsibility:
It is expected that all parents will act in a courteous manner toward all staff, parents and children at the center. Punctuality in dropping off and picking up children is expected. If the situation arises when a parent needs to discipline their child while at the center, it is requested that the center’s discipline policy is followed and there be no physical discipline used.
Grievance Policy:
If at any time a parent has a concern or a problem about the center and they have already spoken with their classroom teacher, they should then use the following chain of command:
Center Director - Jaci Maurer - (718)960-8746
Executive Director - Dawn Barton - (718) 960-5676
Associate Dean of Student Affairs, John Holloway - (718) 960-8242
