Parents are encouraged to participate in their child's experiences at Greatest Resource.  I understand that direct involvement is not always possible. There are other ways you can contribute to our program such as: sharing interests and skill, perhaps associated with cultural traditions, careers or hobbies; taking responsibility for repairing toys and equipment; assisting on field trips; donating craft supplies; etc. Any other ways you can think of to be involved, I would be happy to discuss with you.
