How parents take part in the pre-school


As a member of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, Harvington Pre-School recognises parents as the first and most important educators of their children. All of the staff see themselves as co-workers with you in providing care and education for your child. There are many ways in which parents take part in making the pre-school a welcoming and stimulating place for children and parents, such as:
 		  
  • exchanging knowledge about their children’s needs, activities, interests and progress with the staff;
  • helping at sessions of the pre-school;
  • sharing their own special interests with the children;
  • helping to provide, make and look after the equipment and materials used in the children’s play activities;
  • being part of the management of the pre-school;
  • taking part in events and informal discussions about the activities and curriculum provided by the pre-school;
  • joining in community activities in which the pre-school takes part; and
  • building friendships with other parents in the pre-school.

  Joining in
Helping at the session enables you to see what the day-to-day life of the pre-school is like and to join in helping the children to get the best out of their activities. Ask about how you can take part on a regular basis or just for a session.

Pre-School is also run by an entirely volunteer management committee. Would you like to find out more about how the group is run? Would you like to have more input into how the pre-school is run? Then the committee gives you this opportunity.

We value everybody’s input, what ever your skills or experience. We elect a new committee every year at the Annual General Meeting, but if you would like to know more about us then please feel free to speak to a present member of the committee.

Do feel free to arrange to drop into the pre-school if you would like to see it at work or to speak with the staff.
