Parent Involvement

Classroom Volunteering
Parents are valuable resources to teachers in enhancing classroom curriculum. Families are invited to join the teachers in presenting learning experiences in the classroom, to share materials from home in conjunction with the topic of study, and/or to share a talent or hobby with children. Please discuss your ideas for participating with your child’s teachers, the possibilities are endless.

Parent Partnership Committee
The Parent Partnership Committee is comprised of the Center Director, Assistant Director, the Regional Manager, the Milton Academy Liaison, CCMA faculty members, and a parent representative from each age group with representation from community families and Milton Academy employees. Members are appointed on an annual basis. The committee meets quarterly to discuss issues of concern and interest and to provide input into center operations and enhancements. Bright Horizons, Milton Academy, and The Children’s Center at Milton Academy understand and agree that a collaborative model of communication and an advisory structure, responsive to the needs of all constituents, is the essence of a strong partnership.

Enrichment Committee
The Events & Fundraising Parent Committee is comprised of the Center Director and Assistant Director, at least one CCMA faculty member, and parent representatives. The committee meets regularly to plan center events such as the traditional season events as well as additional events as they are added to the center calendar. A central function of this committee is planning the annual celebration of faculty appreciation week. This committee also plans fundraising efforts throughout the year. The proceeds from these fundraisers are used to enhance the center program and facility beyond the typical program purchases.
