We view your child's time at RCC as a partnership between staff and families. In a recent survey of parents, 100% of respondents answered that they feel welcome and comfortable at RCC. The RCC staff strives to understand the needs of parents as well as children, and to treat parents with respect and consideration.
Families are encouraged to become actively involved with their children's care. From daily communications with teachers to involvement in the Parent Group, we strive to help you stay informed and engaged.
Parent Group: This group was formed to give parents a voice in the direction of RCC, and promote parent involvement and participation in the community of RCC. Family connections are important to your child's success at RCC.
The Parent Group promotes family involvement through family events. They also host fundraisers in support of special programs and projects. The generosity of the parent group has enhanced our facilities and programs in many ways: sponsorship of weekly visits by a music consultant, awnings over key areas of the playground, books and other resources for all classrooms, and much more.
Open House: At the start of each school year, teachers and staff host an evening event to introduce parents to RCC's philosophy and review the goals of each class's program. This is an ideal time for parents to get to know their classroom's staff and the other parents.
Week of the Young Child: National Association for the Education of Young Children designates a week each spring as "Week of the Young Child." RCC typically hosts events and celebrations to build awareness of the need for good child care. Parents and community members are invited to celebrate with us.
