Communication

• Procare Parent Engagement App
  You will receive daily written and photographic updates about your child’s class through the Procare app each day your child is signed in.
• EEC Newsletter
  Every Friday afternoon, families receive the weekly “EEC Update." This newsletter includes important announcements, programming information, and reminders. If you change your email address or stop receiving these updates, please contact the EEC office immediately so we can update your information.
• Formal parent-teacher conferences are held twice a year—in the fall and spring. During these conferences, children are assessed using the Brigance Assessment Tool. You’ll have the opportunity to sign up in advance for a conference time, either virtually or in person.

Emergency Practice & Safety Info

First Presbyterian Church has plans for emergency evacuations in accordance with local and state requirements and the church is equipped with an electronically monitored fire alarm and evacuation system with written policies for emergency situations. The EEC has four emergency procedures: Lockdown, Lockout, Evacuation, Shelter in Place. Emergency procedure signs and exit paths are posted in each classroom. All classes routinely practice monthly fire drills, bi-monthly severe weather drills, and quarterly lockdown drills. 

Parent Participation

Parents are the first and most important teachers of their children and they are valued participants in our program. Our goal is to provide a partnership between parents and teachers so there will be a bridge between home and school for young children. We depend on your involvement as parents to make our program complete. There are many ways that parents can become involved in our program: 

• Assist with a field trip.
• Share a talent, information about your job, or a hobby, as it relates to a topic being discussed in the classroom.
• Assist with special events throughout the year.
