Notification of Absence If your participant will be absent from the program, please call the center’s phone number and/or Brightwheel to notify staff of the absence prior to the beginning of the program. Curriculum PRCS educators support participant’s growth and development using the STREAMin3 curriculum. STREAMin3 is an innovative, engaging, and interactions-based curriculum model for participants. Daily activities, routines, and games maximize teacher-participant interactions and peer interactions. Ongoing observations and assessments help inform teaching and implementation. Educators integrate all major areas of learning and development into hands-on activities that encourage participant’s deeper understanding of the world around them. Participant Progress Families will be provided opportunities to meet with staff in-person to discuss their participant’s academic development, social and emotional development, strengths and needs, as well as to engage in partnership opportunities to set goals for their participant. Family Conferences are scheduled and conducted no later than November and April. We understand the importance of partnering with families, therefore family participation in these conferences is highly encouraged. Families will have an opportunity to review participant progress reports with the educators and will be offered a copy highlighting the areas discussed. Field Trips/Transportation The program will notify families of dates, destinations, times, and pick-up locations of trips. There may be an additional charge for field trips, which is communicated at time of registration. Centers participating in field trips will use safety/booster seats and enforce usage according to the Virginia Department of Health. “Virginia Law requires that all participants ages 7 years and younger to be properly secured in a participant safety seat or booster seat. There is no height or weight requirement” as stated by the Virginia Department of Health. Staff will comply to the directions specific to the vehicle-type that is being used. Staff will follow instructions of the car seat manufacturer and the vehicle manufacturer.
