How are families at FCDC involved?

At FCDC, we believe that good family-teacher relationships are the key to healthy children, happy families and a successful program. We strive to form a partnership with families and offer many opportunities for parents to be involved with their child’s education at FCDC.

Classroom Connections

We have an open-door policy and welcome you to visit your child’s classroom any time. Caterpillars5

Other opportunities for family participation include:

  • Nursing mothers are welcome to spend time in the infant room feeding their child.
  • Parent-Teacher conferences are held twice each year.
  • Families are invited to volunteer in their child’s classroom.
  • Preschoolers enjoy off-site field trips and we appreciate volunteers for chaperones!
  • Ask your child’s teacher to be a Mystery Reader!

Parents As Leaders

The Parents As Leaders (PALs) Team meets every 6 weeks and is comprised of parents whose children attend FCDC. The PALs Team addresses topics of interest to FCDC families and provides a parent perspective to the organization’s decision-making and policies.
