Family Partnerships
For classes where students attend more than once a week, parents are only required to attend on their designated work day.
~ Families in the two-day program, care for one other child during class, one day per week.
~ Families in a three-day program, care for two other children during class, one day per week
Family Partnerships are formed by our Family Partnership Coordinators and are usually in place by the first evening (Circle) meeting of each class. They provide opportunities for your child to develop a special relationship with his/her family partners.
Partnerships are usually determined by physical proximity, but other factors (character, temperament, food allergies, any other needs) are taken into consideration as well.
For the parents, Family Partnerships ensure children are supported at school and that parents have a small group to share the in-class responsibilities and logistics of being a part of the school.
Functioning Family Partnerships are a necessary component of our multi-day programs. These relationships are mutiularally beneficial for parents and children, and serve as an important tool for our teachers in managing the needs of each child.
