Parents are a vital component to the Reggio Emilia philosophy and to our program. Parents are viewed as partners, collaborators and advocates for their children. Early childhood staff respect parents as each child's first teacher and involve parents in every aspect of the curriculum.
Parents/guardians whose children attend preschool program will be required to hold membership with Community Options. Membership fees are collected on an annual basis /per family.
Fundraising - Fundraising is essential because we depend on it to enhance our program. We will let you know when fundraising events are planned.
Volunteering - Each family has their own interests and free time. The important thing is that you choose and enjoy the way you take part. Here are some ways your family can be involved in the play program.
While the children's play program is the primary service offered,
it is recognized that the parents' stressors cannot be adequately
addressed without the complementary services provided by Community
Options educators. Community Options educators build trusting relationships
with parents and the ability to work with individual parents/families
to address specific needs and issues.
Strong families create healthy families, which in turn creates a stronger community. Children learn through social interaction with adults and other children. Community Options educators foster and extend relationships through support guidance, and facilitation of learning through play and social interaction.
Community Options is a Non-Profit Society and Parents may volunteer to serve on the Board of Directors
