Family Meeting
You may have spotted a jar at our check-in station…
That is because we want to hear from you! If you have questions about our program, curriculum, philosophies, or are wondering what your children are up to all day, this is your place to drop in anonymous questions, comments, or feedback. We will open them up for discussion at our December family meeting.
Below is a link to submit questions anonymously for discussion at our upcoming family meeting: https://forms.gle/HBJMB1bJC9rwkD5h8
Our meeting will take place downstairs at St. David’s Episcopal Church on Tuesday, the 16th, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Free childcare will be available during the meeting at Hope Harbor Children's Center.
We hope you will join us for an open, friendly conversation and a chance to partner as a community!
Family Teacher Conferences
This week, we’re hosting our triannual ECEAP required Family–Teacher Conferences. While these meetings are required for all ECEAP families, we warmly invite any enrolled families to participate.
During your conference, we’ll discuss your child’s growth, socially, emotionally, academically, and physically. Together, we’ll set goals for continued learning and development, whether that means continuing early childhood education or preparing for a smooth transition into kindergarten!

Join us for our first family meeting featuring Kristen Rezabek, a registered nutritionist partnered with ECEAP and PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center.
