Each teacher at St Gerard’s International is trained in child development and is an experienced observer of young children. Throughout the year, we keep a close eye on your child's progress in each area of development. We rely on parents to let us know about their child's behavior at home, as well as any special events you wish to share with us. Two parent/teacher conferences are scheduled during the school year. They are a key part of your child's Preschool experience. Please make every effort to attend both.

We want to offer you a variety of creative ways to participate in our school:

 Parenting seminars and family events are held throughout the year.

 Committees made up of parent volunteers meet throughout the year to work on projects that enhance our school.

 We encourage you to share your ideas and concerns with our staff anytime.

 You are invited to come into your child’s classroom and may choose to share a special activity or project (cooking projects, reading to children, sharing information about your occupation, etc).

 We have family resources to help you find books, articles, videotapes and other helpful materials on parenting, child development, health and nutrition and other family topics.
