2024-2025 High Quality Prekindergarten Family Engagement Plan
Natalia Early Childhood Center believes in the importance of school-home communication and values the parent/guardian relationship as the foundation of a successful learning experience for the child. Our goal is to prepare students to enter kindergarten with the academic and social/emotional skills necessary to be successful in school and life. We know this is best accomplished within the early childhood setting by providing a safe & engaging learning environment that considers the developmental needs and interests of each child while simultaneously fostering positive school-home collaboration.
Natalia Early Childhood Center cree en la importancia de la comunicación entre la escuela y el hogar y valora la relación entre padres y tutores como la base de una experiencia de aprendizaje exitosa para el niño. Nuestro objetivo es preparar a los estudiantes para ingresar al jardín de infantes con las habilidades académicas y sociales/emocionales necesarias para tener éxito en la escuela y en la vida. Sabemos que esto se logra mejor en el entorno de la primera infancia proporcionando un entorno de aprendizaje seguro y atractivo que considere las necesidades e intereses de desarrollo de cada niño y al mismo tiempo fomente la colaboración positiva entre la escuela y el hogar.
