Thornhill Child Care - DOVER Centre
Parental Involvement

Being a community based program run by a parent board of directors, parental involvement is essential. Parents can provide three main types of involvement
for their child:

  • The first is for the parent to support the child care program at home.  Helping children develop skills of self-help, cooperation, taking turns,
    good hygiene, and good nutrition are examples of support for our program.
  • The next type of involvement is for parents to volunteer their services in some capacity, whether it is by donating supplies or equipment, being
    able to come in and spend time with the children reading, or
    demonstrating a special skill or hobby.
  • The third level of involvement is for parents to volunteer to take part in decision-making and advisory roles. This involvement usually takes the form of being on the Board of Directors. Please contact the Executive Director for more information.
