We firmly believe that families play an integral role in their child’s learning and development. We value your participation in our program and rely on your shared input. To that end, continuous communication and feedback are essential.

Parents should feel free to contact the GCDC Director with questions or suggestions about the operation of the center. Parents wishing to express concerns may request a conference with a teacher or the Director.

GCDC provides many opportunities for parents to receive information on the progress of their child, details on other general activities, and ways parents may become involved in activities at GCDC. Some examples include

Surveys: Parents are asked to complete surveys and questionnaires during each year and upon exit from GCDC.

Suggestion Box: There is a family suggestion box located on the parent information table in the atrium.

GCDC Electronic Mailing List: GCDC communicates with parents via an electronic mailing list. We will automatically add families to the Members list upon submission of a membership application. Upon enrollment, GCDC will automatically add families to the Enrolled list.

Newsletters: The Lunchbox Press is distributed electronically on a monthly basis throughout the school year to all GCDC members.

The GCDC Parent Board: Located in the atrium, contains information posted to comply with regulations or the administration of the program. Notices for communicable illnesses are also displayed for two weeks on this board and throughout the center.

Tadpoles: Through this app, Teachers and parents can communicate in real time. 

Monthly Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) Meetings: All parents are invited to attend. Members of PAC leadership will post Information about parent committee meetings at GCDC.

Facebook: GCDC maintains a Facebook account. Families can access our page at www.Facebook.com/NASA.GCDC . GCDC will not post photos of children without written permission from parents. Parents are encouraged to “like” our page as a way to receive regular communication about school events.
