Family Support

When a child steps into a preschool classroom, it isn’t just them who’s starting schools, it’s their whole family.

 

Ways families support their children’s learning:

- Expanding learning beyond the classroom - Reinforcing early literacy and math skills at home - “Co-regulating,” or helping children manage big emotions by providing calm, comfort, and boundaries - Treating conflict and mistakes as learning opportunities

Ways CELC supports families:

- Parenting classes - Adult education including English-language-learning classes - Connection to community resources
