Parent Partnership

Children do best when the adults who care for them work together. Open communication, mutual respect, and family involvement help us build a strong partnership and support your child's experience at Amy & Kids Co.

A Partnership of Mutual Respect

Children thrive when they see their parents and teacher forming a partnership, showing respect for and supporting each other. Families who respect the program help create that partnership, and I value the people, traditions, and perspectives each family brings with them.

Arrival and Departure

Each day, you and your child will say goodbye in the morning and reconnect in the afternoon. I understand these transitions can be emotional, and I work to make them easier for both children and parents.

Family Culture

I'm eager to learn about the people, traditions, and experiences that make your family unique. You are encouraged to share as much information about your child and family as you are comfortable with. Getting to know your family helps me provide the best care possible.

Parent Participation

Parents of enrolled children are encouraged to be involved at Amy & Kids Co. in a variety of ways. Watch the newsletter for opportunities to participate, and let me know if you think of a way you'd like to be involved. Parent involvement supports your child’s experience and the program as a whole.

Play Clothes

Dress your child in clothes that can get dirty. Actively playing children are often rough on their clothing so please don't be surprised if your child's outfit comes home with food, paint, dirt, sand, or other “messes” on it, as this is a normal part of hands-on play.

Open Door

Parents of enrolled children are welcome at Amy & Kids Co., unless restricted by a court order. Please feel free to stop by any time, but be aware that afternoon nap time is generally not a good time to visit. For safety's sake, all other visitors should call ahead and make an appointment to visit.

Special Requests

As the teacher and caregiver responsible for a group of children, it is my job to balance individual needs with the needs of the group as a whole. I’m happy to consider special requests when they align with licensing regulations, program policies, and the needs of the group.
