What is a Child-Parent Center?
The Child-Parent Centers (CPC) program is an early childhood preschool model that emphasizes education and services for children ages 3-4 and their families. CPCs provide comprehensive educational and family support with the help of a Head Teacher, Parent Resource Teacher and a School Community Representative.
Parents are encouraged to take an active role in their children's education by contributing at least 2.5 hours a week either volunteering at the school or working with their children at home.
Why Burke Child-Parent Center?
Burke Child-Parent Center Staff and Teaching Teams are dedicated to providing a positive, safe, and nurturing environment for all students, parents and families.
