Engage Families

As a multi-generational program, we honor parents in their role as their child's first and most important teacher.

While research in early education informs best practices on engaging young learners – no one knows their child better than their family. We partner with parents to incorporate family interests, values, and cultures into the curriculum and to identify home routines and activities that extend learning.

A strong relationship between families and BHK staff is essential to promoting healthy child development and positive learning outcomes.
