NCLR PreK PAP (Parents as Partners)

NCLR PreK PAP Session 1 (Fall 2007)
SER Child Development Center’s first Parent Training was held October 9-November 13.  All 17 of 20 parents attended all six session; all parents were  enthusiastic about the material and what they were learning, and all were eager to put their new knowledge into practice in their homes and at school.  We are the first PreK PAP program implemented in the NCLR network and are working closely with NCLR to document our experience and the experiences of our parents in an effort to improve the process and ensure we make any modifications necessary to make this training the best that it can be .  We have found this first experience to be so enriching for our parents that we are committed to making it part of our Parent University offerings multiple times a year in both English and Spanish . Program evaluation found this first session to be high successful in impacting parent behaviors related to school readiness for their children .
