Am I able to help in my child’s class? In what capacity can I help?
Yes, we encourage all parents to play an active part in their child’s education. Some of our parents can pass on a skill to the children (cooking) or in a form of learning (reading a story) or a craft session (painting) during their preschool day. All our principals are eager to work with parents to construct ways to interact with the children.
