Welcome Families!

Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and schools need to work together for the betterment of the students.

Parent Tips

Education starts at school and continues at home. You, as parents, can do plenty of things at home to help your child along the developmental path. Here are some helpful tips to give your child an advantage at home, which will transfer to the classroom.


Read, Read, Read!

Reading is an essential cognitive function for children to learn. Take every opportunity you can to read with your child. Make the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms into “reading zones” and devote some time every day to reading short stories, homework, or anything that is particularly challenging for them.


Make it Fun

Games can be exceptional learning tools. Board games, card games, memory games, and word games subtly engage children in learning essential problem-solving skills while ensuring they have fun! Showing them how much fun learning will make them more eager to learn.


Embrace Technology

Computers, tablets, and mobile devices have access to various educational resources that can help your child learn differently. From games to writing to reading, technology offers multiple ways to engage kids as they know. Don’t be scared to let them get used to technology; the sooner they learn about the devices, the more comfortable they will use them.


Encouragement is Golden

Remember to encourage your children through the learning process. Positive reinforcement goes a long way in helping a developing mind absorb information. Mistakes should not be cause for concern. Instead, view them as learning opportunities and help your child realize where and how to improve.


Count, Wright, Read

Practice, repetition, and routine help a young mind develops skills faster and become more comfortable with the skills they already have. Set time aside to count with your children, let them write stories for you, and read them together. This little effort can make a world of difference in the long run.
