Activities at the Early Learning Center

Family involvement is a critical component of early childhood programs at the Early Learning Center. Parents are the first and most important teachers of their children. Therefore, it is essential that they be actively involved in their children's education. A variety of family involvement options are available. Examples include: parent education workshops, opportunities to volunteer in the classroom and parent-child activities.

Parent Workshops

Throughout the year, the Early Learning Center offers parent workshops on a variety of topics, including behavior and academics.


Family Visits

These visits are a time for families to learn about activities the children are doing in school, as well as activities families can do in their homes to enhance their child's education. Additionally, teachers update parents on students' progress and offer additional advice.


Gingerbread House-Making

These houses utilize a variety of items donated by families. A physical activity offered in the lower level is the Gingerbread Run. Parents and children alike may participate in this annual event! 

Tucker Rewards

The students earn marbles in their classroom for positive school behavior. The students are rewarded throughout the school year with all-school events that include movies and student performers from other SASD schools. Tucker Turtle visits the classrooms throughout the year to encourage students to follow the rules.
