Family Involvement

BCESC Preschool Programs are family centered and designed to build on a parent’s role as the principle influence in a child’s development. Parents are an essential part of our program. We work in close partnership to develop their individual strength in order to successfully meet personal and family objectives. Parents are always welcome to participate in their child’s day to day classroom activities. Parents who visit the classroom observe firsthand all the wonderful ways in which their children are growing and developing. Research has shown that when parents become involved in their child’s education, the child does better in school. Parents can volunteer in a number of ways: Participate in classroom activities or on field trips Organize classroom community service projects Participate in home visits at least twice a year Attend parent education classes Serve on committees Assist with interviewing potential employees for the program Contact other parents about preschool activities Becoming involved in a child’s education ensures seamless services for the family as they enter a preschool program and when they transition to kindergarten.
