Parent Education and Involvement

Parents are encouraged to become actively involved with all aspects of their child's education. We believe that a strong home/center relationship is basic to the young child's education, and that parents, children and teachers benefit from learning and working together.

Upon enrollment, an orientation is planned to familiarize families with the center.  The Immokalee Child Care Center adheres to and supports an open-door policy for the parents of the children enrolled in our program.

Parents are required to volunteer at least one hour a month to maintain childcare in the program. A center newsletter is distributed once a month, and articles include features on child development, activities and general center information.

Staff and parents work together to promote family education and involvement within the center. It is our goal to establish family-focused events and parent education activities. It is the goal of the Immokalee Child Care Center to provide a beneficial experience for the child, and encourage cooperation and communication between the family and the center.
