For Parents

Contact: parentcommittee@harvestrain.org or (770) 969-2040 Ext 103

Parent Involvement Meetings Time: 1st Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm

Parent Committee- Harvest Rain Academy believe that strong families anchor our community, which makes it better for all of us to live. Because the pre-school years (0-4 Yrs.) and school age children are so important in determining later development, it is crucial that the child's relationship at home and in the care giving setting be strong and positive. The committee exists to support activities that train, educate, console and care for the families of the children we serve, helping each child to recognize their full potential.

Parents Engagement
Meeting Time: Quarterly 2nd Tuesday of each Quarter

1) Parent and Child Together Time (PACT)

Provides opportunities for parents and children to interact together as a family unit. Some of these activities are:

• Parent classroom volunteerism (1 hour per week Mandatory for STP Program).

Our PACT sessions are held quarterly: The children's interest and preferences drive activities with parents following the lead. Staff members help parents learn how to support their children's learning through interaction with each other in meaningful activities, including play. These opportunities offer parents and children a chance to become true partners in education. At the end of the session, a literacy-focused large group activity will provide ideas for transferring learning to the home and brings closure to the session.
