Parent Participation/Non-Participation  Preschool

Parent participation preschool programs emphasize parents as partners in the early education of their children. Parent education and training classes are central to these programs. Parents regularly schedule days for working alongside the teacher in the classrooms.

Parents, as the first teachers, profoundly influence their children’s successes. The focus of the program is parents’ understanding of the developmental needs and age-appropriate activities for their children. A broad range of activities and guided options are offered with parent training in how to meet the needs of their children. The programs work toward building a strong partnership between home and school.
