Our program is also based on our belief that in order for children to be successful
there must be a parent teacher partnership. We make every effort to keep you informed
on your child’s achievements. In order to integrate some of the school activities with
home activities we will send home a monthly curriculum guideline. We highly encourage
parents to work on topics discussed at school with your child to complete our parentteacher
partnership. The following contains the overall goals which provide the
framework for the developments of the children enrolled in our Explorers Program.
