The role of parents in a child’s growth
The role of parents in the child’s growth is crucial. Nature and nurture all begin at home. Parents must be mindful of the different needs in each child. Bright Beginnings Child Care Center wants to be an extension of the parents. We ask for complete communication between parents and staff so that we may provide children’s specific needs. We would like to know if there are changes in eating habits, changes in moods, concerns etc.
What should parents teach children?
We ask our parents to teach their children to be kind and respectful individuals. Respecting rules and showing kindness to others will help our environment to stay warm, controlled and inviting. Bright Beginnings Child Care Center strives to create an environment in which children can Play, Learn and Grow.
