Family Involvement
Family Events & Community-Building
At ECE we view the family as the child's first teacher. We believe that ALL family members are a vital part of the success of children's education at ECE> If you are an enrolled family, you will be able to participate in family events and workshops. Families will receive monthly resources focusing on monthly learning targets.
Family Events Dates 2019 - 2020 (Dates TBD)
Our family events are opportunities for families to get to know each other, learn about programming, receive resources, and educational activities. Please look at invitations for details information.
Family Advocacy in Englewood Schools
Families have the opportunity to be on advisory boards, use our family services liasons as well as our multidisciplinary special services team. Councils and teams work together to discuss a range of issues and provides resources and opportunities that promote successful families.

"...the best interests of the state to create a state advisory council for parent involvement in education that will review best practices and recommend to policy makers and educators strategies to increase parent involvement in public education, thereby helping improve the quality of public education and raise the level of students’ academic achievement throughout the state." (C.R.S. § 22-7-301(2), 2012)
