Family Involvement is at the core of our programs.
We
advocate working together in the spirit of partnership with families.
This means we welcome your input, we ask for your suggestions, and
we engage in problem solving together. All families are encouraged
to share information that can be helpful to teachers in working with
your child. Family members are always welcome in our classrooms.
Each
campus has representative family involvement groups that meet regularly
to plan events, raise funds, and provide support to the education
centers. All families are encouraged to become involved.
The
Early Childhood Education Centers are an integral component of Oakton's
ECE academic program.
The centers serve as a laboratory where students develop
the skills necessary to become qualified teachers. Students from other
disciplines also visit the center for observations. All students are
screened prior to involvement.
Volunteers
of all ages, abilities, and interests are welcome to participate in
our program. They are screened and oriented on how to effectively
contribute to our classrooms.
