- What Parents Say About DPEP
DPEP... Parents Are Partners in the Program:
As a parent at DPEP, you are the key influence on the quality and type of programs offered. This co-operative model enables you to be actively involved in your child's early education. Here are some of the ways you can participate:
Duty Days
Parents provide the monthly half day "duty day" in the classroom by signing up for a time during the month, and the duty roster is posted in the classroom and sent out by e-mail.
Board and Committees
Parents can volunteer to be elected to the Board of Directors or offer support to an ad hoc committee. By serving on the volunteer board of directors or committees, you can guide the administrative and policy direction of DPEP.
Annual General Meeting
Once a year, the membership meet to elect a new board and to approve the Financial Statements. This is a good opportunity to meet other parents and discover how you can help.
Social Events
DPEP children and their families come together as a community at the end-of-the-year BBQ which takes place in June.
What Parents Say About DPEP:
"The continuity of staff at DPEP has allowed my daughter to flourish as she develops new skills and a positive self image with teachers who know her well."
"The flexibility in the scheduling of the program for my son has enabled me to adapt his DPEP schedule to the changing needs of our child and family..."
"My son loves the days that I come in for 'Duty' as he knows this is his special day at school, and Mommy is watching his progress."
