Parents

You are an integral part

Parents are an integral piece of a child’s success, at every age and every stage of their development. El Bosque Encantado welcomes your involvement, whether or not you speak Spanish.

You’re invited, too

When your child is at El Bosque, you are invited at any time to eat lunch with us, volunteer in the classroom, give a talk about your profession, teach us a craft, observe your child, or attend a special party or event.

Strengthen the home-school connection

At home, the best way to support your child’s development is to assure they receive well balanced meals, ample amounts of sleep and plently of love and support. 

Each and every time you are able to participate in your child’s learning experience you are strengthening the home-school connection and reinforcing the importance of education! Thank you in advance!
