Family Engagement-. Effective programs are those in which parents are actively involved. The following is a brief list of involvement ideas: • Observe your child within the program setting. Join him/her in an activity • Daily contact with staff members • Attend Parent Advisory Board meetings and provide input concerning the program • Attend family/child activities • Share your talent/skill/hobby with your child's class Parents are a very important aspect of the programs offered by CYP. In an effort to encourage parent involvement, a Parent Advisory Board (PAB) has been established. The Parent Advisory Board (PAB) is established for all Child and Youth Programs to provide recommendations for the improvement of services and operations. The PAB acts in an advisory capacity, providing recommendations for expanding and improving services, and does not engage in the management and operation of the CYP. Announcements regarding upcoming meetings are generally published in the monthly newsletters and posted at the sites. We look forward to any input, ideas, time and talents you would like to share. The classrooms are always open for parents to visit or share talents and hobbies. The Family Care Program Manager and CDC Directors function as advisors to the PAB. Notification of PAB meetings will be posted at the CDCs for parent’s convenience. For additional information on the PAB, please see your Center Director.
