The Parents’ Association was founded in 2005 in the hopes of providing resources for the parents and guardians of children who attend Up With Children. Since its inception it has provided family activities, parent support, and enrichment programs for the children.

Purpose

Programs

Our events have included:

Open House
Literacy Night (Story Telling)
Musical Programs
Family Craft Night
Bedtime Stories with "Grannie Annie"
Parent's Tea
Sparky's Puppets
Zoo Mobile
Save by the Bay
Animal Experiences
Pre-K Closing Celebration

Funding

These activities would not be possible without our Annual Family Fun Night. This family focused evening is a crucial part of the Parents’ Association as it provides the only funds we use to support all these wonderful programs. This affordable event is held at the Crescent Park Carousel with unlimited riding, food, crafts, raffles, and more.

Getting Involved

We depend on your involvement, input, and energy. We are open to your ideas and suggestions. Please contact us using our communication envelope on the Parents’ Association door in Lindy’s office. You will find the most up-to-date information on meetings and events on this door as well.

Membership

You are automatically a member upon enrolling your child here at Up With Children. Your level of participation is up to you. You may get involved in planning an event, baking for an activity, or simply enjoying one of our programs. We invite everyone to participate in the preperation and attendence of our annual "Family Fun Night", usually held in May.
