A Family Center
At Bambinos we recognize that a child comes to us as
a member of a family. We interact with parents about
curriculum, care giving practices, developmental milestones
and cultural events. We welcome parental
and community participation in our programs.
Our open door policy
encourages parents to visit our center at any time.
Here are ways you can become involved:
- Family
Days
One Friday of every month, all of our classrooms involve families to participate
in activities and fun.
- Encouraging Involvement
Parents are always welcome in the classroom. Our
teachers can always use a hand. There is a
sign up sheet
at the
front
desk
with current
volunteer opportunities in our classroom.
- Parent Advisory Board
We have an
advisory board formed by parents and community members.
We meet every other month for two hours. Please let us
know if you are interested in being part of this board.
Commitment to Quality MORE >>
Our early education facilities are much more than child
care centers. They are dynamic
learning environments in which children flourish. Our
curriculum incorporates a comprehensive multilingual
program that emphasizes the importance of active learning,
language, and the role of teachers as mentors and facilitators.
