Parent Involvement
is an important and necessary part of the Early Explorers programs.
Parents are encouraged to participate in any number of activities
available in the communities that Early Explorers serve. Some of these
activities include:
Parent meetings-
opportunities for parents to meet with other parents to share parenting
issues and work together on parent planned activities and projects.
Each parent meeting includes a topic presented by the local Generalist
or Family Development Coordinator. Parents are encouraged to suggest
topics of interest for these meetings.
Early Explorers-
this is a parent/child activity held twice monthly for the enrolled
child/children and their parents. Children and parents attend
a socialization where structured and unstructured activities are
presented. A family style meal is provided.
Men and Me Nights
- the child's father or a significant male figure is encouraged
to participate in an evening of activities specifically designed
to interest and involve men and children. For more information
