Welcome to the Red Bank Preschool Program

There are a number of ways that parents/guardians can help their children learn. As your child’s first teacher, you can:

• Take an active interest in your child’s daily activities
• Talk to teachers about your child’s progress 
• Read to your child and have your child read to you
• Celebrate your child’s successes
• Have your child retell the events of his or her school day when they get home from school
• Maintain contact with your child’s teacher through phone, notes, ore-mail. 

The most learning takes place when teachers and parents work together. There are many ways in which you can support your child’s learning in the classroom, as well. You can:

• Read a story to your child’s class
• Share a song or game with your child’s class
• Share a hobby or activity with your child’s class
• Share a special holiday tradition with your child’s class
• Assist your child’s teacher during center time
• Volunteer to help out on the playground during recess
• Be a chaperone for a class trip

Communication with your child’s teacher is a key to maintaining the family-school connection! Be sure to check your child’s backpack daily for notices. Friday folders are sent each week with important messages and updates. Please return all paperwork in a timely fashion.
