Privately Owned Preschools Involve Parents

Privately owned preschools know that engaging in your child’s learning plays a crucial role in a child’s early development and learning experiences. The Academy is an example of a privately owned preschool with specific programs for the whole family. Our seasonal programs such as “Fall is for Your Family,” “Fitness Fanatics,” and “Green Our Scene” are all programs that involve the whole family.

But in addition to participating in structured programs, here are some engaging ideas for parents to become involved.

Stay Informed

Keep up with daycare newsletters or bulletins to be aware of upcoming activities or needs. Being informed allows you to engage appropriately, whether it’s bringing supplies for a craft project or inviting your child’s friends to a group playdate.

Share Your Skills

Parents often possess unique skills or hobbies that could enrich daycare activities. Whether it’s crafting, cooking, or storytelling, consider offering to lead a session or share your expertise.

For example, if you’re a musician, volunteer for a music day, or if you love gardening, propose planting a small flower bed with the children. Sharing your talents encourages learning through hands-on experiences.

Volunteer for Events

Most daycares regularly host events such as holiday parties, picnics, craft days, or field trips. Volunteer to help with these activities.

Your participation not only supports staff but also provides an opportunity to interact with your child and their friends. Engaging in fun group activities reinforces the sense of community and allows you to observe your child’s interactions in a social setting.

Foster Open Communication:

Encourage your child to talk about their day and what they’ve learned. This practice not only strengthens your bond but also gives you insights into how you can enrich their experiences further.
