Parent Group

Parent Group meetings are designed to be informal and will address parenting issues, concerns and problems that are at the forefront of parents' minds. Our Associate Director will help parents clarify any parenting topics, provide information about child development and introduce skills, techniques or suggestions that may help to support parents as they work through a given situation or want to change a behavior. These meetings are extremely beneficial to new parents and are highly encouraged by the center. Meeting times are determined each quarter based on a survey of parent's availability.


Parent Involvement

Parent participation is vital to ASI Children's Programs. Parent donations of time and talent, contributes to the quality of each child's early care and education experience. Parent involvement benefits the children, the program and the families, and can help reduce monthly fees. As an incentive for parent participation at the Children's Center, a Parent Participation Discount is offered. (See Parent Handbook for details).
