Parent Organizations
What do Parent Organizations do?
We are encouraging all child care centers to join us in helping families access information on recommended practices for their child! We asking child care centers to start parent organizations at their center to connect families to developmentally appropriate practices content to help their child grow and develop. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) offers digital family membership that provide parents with great developmental resources while also keeping parents up-to-date on initiatives that support young children and families.
We hope you will join us in building our parent community in Louisiana and look forward to working with you!
