We believe that parent communication and parent participation helps each child to grow and develop to their fullest potential.
Ways to communicate with your child’s educator : face-to face during morning drop off and evening pick up, call the office (514) 932-9137, email the centre info@narnia.qc.ca
Narnia uses ClassDojo to document activities, events, experiences and to share moments of learning with parents.
A number of resources have been put together for new and returning Narnia parents. Please become familiar with these documents and refer to them regularly.
Narnia takes great pride in the organization of events for its community. These include, gatherings at the park, a sing along, family literacy day, a small art exhibit and we encourage parents to participate and share with us their skills and expertise. As events are scheduled, the details will be provided to parents. Our Group events happen in support of the children’s interests and investigations and will be shared on ClassDojo at the time.
