Parents & Families
It’s a new school year!
Welcome to the 2023 School Year! As always, we’re looking forward to giving your little ones the best possible environment to learn and grow.
By now, everyone should have received their welcome letters with classroom assignments for the year, and we’re looking forward to another great year!
Family Matters
We want all family members to take an active role in their child’s development. Once you become a Jack & Jill family, you will be a part of a collaborative, open environment that takes into account your individual structure at home. Understanding the composition of families, languages spoken, and culture allows our staff to adapt the curriculum and teaching methods used with your child.
What to Expect
Knowing what to expect will make the transition easier for the family. From your first tour until your child’s last day in our classroom, we aim to maintain high levels of communication along the way.
-
Orientation
New families participate in a transitional orientation session to answer questions they may have before their first day, allowing for families to acclimate to the classroom.
-
Daily Communication
Once their child starts at Jack & Jill, staff will verbally communicate with parents at daily drop off and pick up times, giving parents insight into what their children have been learning, and a chance to voice any questions or concerns. Daily notes are also shared between staff and parents, highlighting each child’s general care routines, overall temperament, and curriculum activities from the day.
-
Conferences
Parent/Teacher conferences are held two times per year to discuss individual child development and to set goals for the upcoming months.
-
Policies
Upon enrollment, parents receive a link to the updated Family Handbook outlining policies, procedures, notification protocols, medical information requirements, and any additional necessary information. One parent/guardian will electronically sign through the link provided. The Family Handbook can be reviewed at any time through the Family Handbook option under the Parents & Families section of the website.
