At Discover Preschool, we know parents are a child’s first and most vital teachers. That’s why we’re all about building strong partnerships with families, creating a tight-knit community where kids flourish with support from home and school. Wondering how we keep parents in the heart of the action? Here’s how we engage families in early education, every step of the way.

It starts with Terrific Twos, our Parent-Tot class held Tuesdays from 1-2:30 PM. Imagine you and your two-year-old side by side, singing a silly song about farm animals or crafting a paper pig with googly eyes. Maybe you’re dancing with scarves, giggling as you twirl, or reading a story together on a cozy rug. This isn’t just playtime—it’s a gentle bridge into preschool, wrapped in the comfort of your presence. Parents get a front-row seat to their child’s first group moments, strengthening bonds while easing them into social settings with confidence.

Open communication keeps the connection alive all year. Our educators send out regular newsletters bursting with updates—maybe your Fantastic Four nailed “rojo” in Spanish, or your Thrilling Three named every shape in a puzzle. One-on-one chats offer deeper dives: “She led Circle Time today!” or “He’s sharing more—want to try this at home?” We’re transparent about progress and challenges, celebrating every milestone together. It’s like having a window into your child’s day, no matter where you are.

Family events turn learning into a community celebration. Picture a music showcase where your little one jingles hand bells with pride, or an open house displaying their latest art—a wobbly caterpillar or a glittery star. These gatherings let you see skills in action—counting, singing, creating—while mingling with other families over juice and smiles. It’s a chance to cheer your child’s growth and feel the warmth of our Discover family, building bonds that make preschool a shared joy.

At-home extensions empower parents to keep the learning flowing. We share simple, fun ideas to echo our lessons—like counting steps on a walk to reinforce numbers, or spotting shapes in the kitchen after a Thrilling Threes class. After a Spanish session, you might sing “azul, azul” at bedtime. These tips turn everyday moments into mini classrooms, deepening your child’s curiosity and tying home to school. It’s not homework—it’s play with purpose, designed to fit your life.

Here’s how we partner up:

• Terrific Twos: Shared play and bonding time.

• Updates: Newsletters and personal check-ins.

• Events: Showcases and family fun nights.

• Home Ideas: Easy ways to extend the magic.

This collaboration isn’t just nice—it’s essential. Research shows kids thrive when families and schools sync up, and we see it daily: a shy child blooming with Mom’s encouragement, or a proud parent beaming at a new skill. Our educators lean into this, guiding with love and inviting you in—not as spectators, but as teammates. At Discover, parent partnerships mean stronger kids and a community that feels like home.
