Parent education
As a laboratory school, we seek to share resources on child development with our caregiver community. Enrolled families can borrow parenting books from our collection and receive links to additional resources in our weekly update. Here is a selection of content from our staff about best-practice approaches to early education and child development.
CDLS Director Sheila Williams Ridge co-created this video about introducing early math concepts using materials found in nature.
Director of Teaching and Learning Marie Lister shares information on building executive function skills in young children.
Family Advisory Council
Families are invited to engage with CDLS through the Family Advisory Council (FAC), which serves as a communication bridge between families and CDLS leadership to work together to ensure CDLS continues to be an exceptional place to learn and work. Caregivers of children in the full-day, part-day, and Dakhód’iapi Wahóȟpi programs are welcome to join. The FAC meets monthly (hybrid) from September–May.
For more information, please view the FAC purpose statement.
