Parents are an important part of the Days of Wonder program. They come to parent-teacher conferences, an after work cookout, a parent-child Thanksgiving lunch, an open house, and Santa’s visit. They stay in touch with our newsletter, our bulletin board, and our monthly schedule of “What’s Doing” for threes and fours. It offers fun ideas for home activities that reinforce everything that the children are learning.

Here are some of the questions our parents frequently ask. If you have further questions, please contact us.
