Hume House Child Development & Student Research Center
Parent Connection
Parent involvement is an integral part of the Child Development Center's program and philosophy.
Parent Partners
We value parents as partners in their child's education in the lab.
Parent Involvement
Parent Involvement is an integral part of the program and philosophy of the CDC. Our families share information about their child including developmental profiles, and parents participate in developmental screening using the Ages and Stages Screening tool. Teachers connect with parents first with home visits and then via face to face daily communication, electronic applications and through weekly email communications. We plan several workshops each year on topics ranging from Kindergarden Readiness, to How to create visual schedules for children's learning.
Parent volunteers support special projects at the CDC, including our gardening project, annual Trike-a-thon, annual DSACF Walk, annual Art Show and our biannual Pot Lucks.
