At Church Childcare Center, we believe the foundation of a successful school year begins with strong partnerships between families and teachers. When families feel informed, supported, and connected, children thrive — both inside and outside the classroom.

As we step into the fall season, our team is renewing our commitment to creating open, consistent communication with every family. We know how important it is for families to stay up to date on their child’s day, progress, and experiences, and we’re building new procedures to ensure communication is always clear, timely, and meaningful.

Why Family-Teacher Communication Matters

Children do best when the adults in their lives work together. Effective communication between families and teachers:

Strengthens trust — Families feel confident knowing what’s happening in the classroom.

Supports learning at home — Families can reinforce skills, routines, and lessons with simple activities.

Creates consistency — When children see the same messages at home and at school, transitions become smoother.

Builds community — Strong communication reminds families they’re not alone — we’re all in this together.

Our Commitment to Families This Year

We recognize that communication hasn’t always been perfect, and we’re dedicated to improving. That’s why we’re putting intentional systems in place to keep families better informed [current families, stay tuned for more information]. These include:

  • Regular classroom updates with highlights of what your child is learning and experiencing.
  • Direct communication channels so you always know the best way to reach your child’s teacher.
  • Important reminders and alerts delivered promptly to avoid last-minute surprises.
  • Opportunities for family feedback so your voice is heard and valued.
How Families Can Stay Involved

Partnership is a two-way street! Here are a few ways families can stay connected and make the most of communication with our team:

Check emails and classroom notes regularly — we often communicate with families via email [on top of our engagement app]; we ask that you keep an up-to-date email address on file, and that you regularly check your inboxes, as well as any in-person classroom notes.

Check the ProCare Engagement App daily — our staff and teachers use our ProCare Engagement App to communicate daily updates and things to know.

Share insights from home — even small details can help teachers better understand your child’s needs.

Ask questions and voice concerns — open conversations help clear up confusion and keep everyone on the same page.

Join events and activities — your presence builds community and shows children that school and home are connected.

Looking Ahead Together

We’re excited about the year ahead and the opportunities it holds for our children, families, and staff. By working hand in hand, we can ensure every child has the support they need to learn, grow, and shine.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children, and for partnering with us to make this school year the best one yet!
