It's a Family Affair

Parents and families are encouraged to participate in their child's experience at Skip-a-Long. Talk with your child's teacher each day to learn more about the care and activities we provide.

Parents can call at anytime. All classrooms have access to phones.

All classrooms and administrative staff have e-mail accounts.

Directors and Family Service Providers are available to talk to parents as needed.

Parent/teacher conferences are held on an annual basis; others will be scheduled upon a parent's request.

Discuss recent events with Directors and Family Service Providers

Share frustrations and celebrations about the center, classrooms, parenting, children, etc.

Plan and be a part of upcoming rallies, fundraisers, picnics, etc.
