PARENTS
As parents, your participation is essential so that learning can be a happy experience
for your child. There are many ways in which parents and
relatives can contribute their time. A few examples are
helping to prepare dinner for parent meetings, participating
in your child’s classroom or volunteering to lead a special
activity. If you have a unique talent or special activity
that you would like to share please contact us to arrange
time in the classrooms. To find out more about our volunteer
opportunities, check the “Family Volunteers” clipboard
at the front desk and see if there is anything you would
like to contribute! We appreciate and value your participation
and input!
In addition to volunteer opportunities,
parents are encouraged to participate in family surveys
regarding classroom practices and their child’s learning.
Our teachers take these surveys seriously and will work
collaboratively with your family to find solutions for
any issue that may arise.
Our weekly newsletter includes a schedule
of upcoming Parent Meetings.
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.
The parent advisory board is
formed by a parent representative from each classroom.
This board supports our operation by being part of the
decision making process and providing support during job
interviews, fundraisers, programs, activities, enrollment.
The advisory board is installed
at the beginning of the school year.
Family Activities
Once a month we have a Family
Day. On this day your child’s class will be open to all
the parents. You will have the opportunity to meet other
parents and to learn first-hand about your child’s development.
All the projects will be on display and teachers
will be available to answer any questions.
To Show Our Appreciation
As a Bambinos parent, you are a member of our community.
Here are some benefits and resources that may be of
interest to your family:

Registration Discount
Fees
are waived for sibling registration in our spring break,
summer, and school-year programs ($100 savings).
- Parents Night Out
We are open every Friday evening to give parents an opportunity to enjoy
a night out without the kids! We provide a light dinner and snack
in addition to fun activities and learning. No
regular enrollment required.
*Open until 11:00pm every Friday. However, to ensure the
safety
of
our staff, during the
winter
months,
availability will be
on a weather
permitting schedule.
- Educational Products
We
know it is a difficult to research and find good
quality educational materials. We have put together a
brief outline of trusted sites and products we
recommend to our families. We
do not resell any of the items, however when
the opportunity arises to purchase bulk orders at a discount
we will pass this savings on to our parents.
- Local Resources
Our
community is evolving to offer many services and
resources to the burgeoning population of Columbia Gorge
families. View a compilation of the latest offerings.
- Parent-to-Parent
We
know our parents work hard and we would like to offer
a place where you can share your products or business
services with other parents and community members.
Please email us your logo and we will be happy to place it here.
