Parents

At the PCDC we know that parents are the first and most important teachers of their children. Therefore, we believe that an environment of open communication between parents and teachers is vital. Parents are informed about their children's experiences and class activities through:

daily conversations with the teachers
newsletters
parent conferences
parent meetings
e-mail
the PCDC web site
bulletin board displays
documentation of children's learning
Parents are welcome at the PCDC at any time.

Parents can view their children through the one-way windows of the observation rooms, or visit in the classrooms.

The PCDC also offers a range of opportunities for parents who wish to become more involved in their child's education at the center, would like to become more connected with other parents, or who would like to enhance their parenting skills. These opportunities include:

parent education seminars (can be taken for LBCC credit)
classroom co-oping or volunteering in the children's classrooms
monthly parents' workshops
weekly parent discussion groups or meetings
community-building project committees
parent/teacher workdays
family school events
