Parent Engagement

There are many opportunities for parent involvement in the Early Childhood Center. Parents are encouraged to take part in the life of the school in a variety of ways; through in class visits, ECC sponsored parent workshops, Shabbat and a variety of holiday celebrations. In addition, parents and guardians have the opportunity to become even more involved in our community by becoming active in our Parent Association.

These are just a few ways of getting involved:

​

• Become a Class Parent – help coordinate parent assistance in holiday parties, facilitate class gifts, and organize parents to provide transportation for class trips and assist with the class Sharing Shabbat.

• Get involved in the Parent Association – chair a committee to help spearhead one of the many social, educational and/or fundraising activities sponsored throughout the year or simply volunteer to become a Host Family, work a shift at the book fair, bring a dessert for Pajama Night, attend a sponsored lecture, or gather your friends to shop at Boutique Night. There are many different ways to get involved. We will hold a morning meeting in the fall or contact the current Parent Association chair to find out more.

• Help Tend the ECC Vegetable Garden – our garden is always in need of help with weeding and harvesting. Please see the Director if you are interested in helping out.

 

If you have a special area of interest or expertise that you would like to share, please let our staff know. Our parent body is a rich source of talent, energy and creativity. We value your input, suggestions, and assistance.
