Parent Involvement
Parents are the first and most continuous teachers of young children. At Wee Wisdom, you and your child’s caregiver will have many opportunities to form a partnership, which will lay the foundation for the best possible education of your child.
The following activities will promote parent involvement and will produce positive results for teachers, parents, and most importantly… your child:
- Parent Visitors: At Wee Wisdom, we practice an open door policy. You may observe in our Nursery School for 8 hours per month.
- Newsletters: Daily Newsletters serve as an excellent source of information to parents. Wee Wisdom’s newsletters outline news about classroom happenings, student projects, and helpful hints for parents. You will receive a newsletter each day that your child attends a nursery school class.
- Parent Volunteers: You may assist in our Nursery School for a total of 8 hours or more per month. In order to volunteer, you must submit a current physical, a current TB Test, and a Criminal History Check through the Indiana State Police. These must be provided at your expense. If you are interested, please contact the office for more information. Parents are an invaluable source in the classroom.
- Parent Night: This special evening is always held in September. This gives parents the opportunity to meet their child’s teacher and discuss topics of interest.
- Parent-Teacher Conferences: These conferences are held in the Fall and Spring of each year. They are designed to promote parent involvement in the educational process.
- Telephone Calls: Teachers will communicate regularly with parents. Please feel free to call your child’s teacher at any time during our hours of operation. You may also reach our director at home (see parent handbook for phone number).
- Social Events for Children & Their Parents: The following activities are scheduled annually for Nursery School Children and their families:
Halloween Parties: Parent committees plan and organize refreshments, favors, and paper products for this Fall party. They are given a specific list of guidelines. The party will take place during regular class time and will last forty (40) minutes.

“Our daughter, Tara and son-in-law, Scott Smalstig are a busy professional couple. We are proud of them. We retired just in time to help out with our grandchildren – Madison and Gehrig both attended Wee Wisdom.
We are almost permanent fixtures at Wee Wisdom. We are known to pop in at any time to pick up our grandchildren. We have never observed anything but a positive and Christian atmosphere. The teachers and staff are caring and concerned about each child.”
