A MULTICULTURAL PRESCHOOL AND TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN

PARENT PARTICIPATION

COMMUNITY BUILDING

As part of the Little Dolphins community, every family must participate on a Parent Committee. There are opportunities for everyone to be involved. From documenting fundraiser participation electronically, coordinating room parents, and hosting events, to organizing a parent dance performance at the festival, even the busiest of parents are able to contribute to our program.

ART WORKSHOPS
The Workshops are a designated time to help prepare (ahead of time) the many art projects that form an essential part of our curriculum. Please do not feel obligated to stay for the entire time. However, your assistance, any time you can provide it, is greatly appreciated. Participation in the Art Workshop is everyone's responsibility and this activity is a wonderful way to understand our philosophy of education and be a part of its process. Parents should plan to participate in the workshops throughout the year.

FAMILY OF THE DAY
Every family is invited to attend a morning of school 1-2 times per year with their little one. Families join their child's classroom and bring a tradition, activity, favorite story, or game to share with the class. This is a special opportunity to experience a day in your child's life at Little Dolphins.

FOR ME, BEING FAMILY OF THE DAY IS SUCH A TREAT BECAUSE IT’S THE DAY WE GET A CHANCE TO MEET WITH ALL THE CHILDREN DURING SNACK TIME, AND WE GET TO SEE THEM IN THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF THEIR FAMILIES AND SEE WHAT THEY’RE TRULY CAPABLE OF. SITTING SIDE BY SIDE, CHATTING, EATING, ASKING FOR MORE STRAWBERRIES PLEASE, AND THOSE SWEET FULFILLED SMILES ARE ENOUGH TO BRIGHTEN ANYONE’S DAY.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEING FAMILY OF THE DAY BECAUSE IT’S THE BEST WAY TO GET TO KNOW OUR CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENT FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE. EACH TIME WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY WE GAIN A RENEWED RESPECT AND APPRECIATION FOR THE WONDERFUL TEACHERS OUR CHILDREN HAVE. IT'S SUCH A SPECIAL DAY FOR ALL OF US!

AN IMPORTANT CORNERSTONE OF OUR PROGRAM,
INTERGENERATIONAL EXPERIENCES ARE REWARDING FOR EVERYONE AND PROVIDE A WONDERFUL LEGACY THAT IS LEFT WITH THE SCHOOL.
