Our Programs

Parent-Teacher Conferences
The Center will hold annual Parent-Teacher Conferences to discuss the child's behavior, progress, social and physical needs, and any other area of developmental concern. Parents/guardians may request a conference if there is a situation that require immediate attention. Telephone conferences may be held when an in-person parent-teacher conference is not practical. All parents and or teachers with any problem or complaint may be discussed at any time by calling the Center and or speaking with the child's Teacher or the Director.

Atmosphere
Praise and positive reinforcement are effective methods of the behavior management of children. When children receive positive, non-violent, and understanding interactions from adults and others, they develop good self-concepts, problem solving abilities, and self-discipline.
