Classroom Support Days
We remain steadfast in the belief that connecting with children’s families in the classroom space is critical to holistically supporting the development of young children.
While we do not have a specific number of days that we ask parents and caregivers to support the classroom, we do expect that families who join the cooperative want to participate in the classroom community to the extent they are able. We invite families to connect with their child's classroom in a way that excites them - our very best moments at DCP have occurred when members of our community authentically share themselves. This might be coming in to share a book, engage the children in a tradition or activity relevant to their family or the current curriculum exploration, or come in to enjoy lunch or outside time with the children.
Now that we have shifted to a longer school day, we are aware that many families aren't able to come support the classroom for the entire day (though we would welcome you to do so if you would like!) We envision parent support as a unique reflection of each classroom community.
