For Parents

Parent Involvement

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parents and family are welcome to visit and participate in activities throughout the year. Informal day-to-day contact with your child’s teachers is welcomed. At the end of each week, a “What We Did This Week” notice is sent to parents via e-mail by the teachers; it summarizes specific books read, songs sung, ideas and themes discussed, and special or significant events. Once a month, the “Noah’s Ark News” is distributed to keep families informed from an administrative level. 

There is a Noah’s Ark Parent Group whose mission is to build a sense of community and tradition beyond the classroom. The group arranges social gatherings throughout the year for the families and supports the school in its goals. The Parent Group welcomes any level of involvement.   We also have room parents.  These individuals foster a sense of community for the families of their particular class, as well as work with the larger parent group.  They plan class wide events, create meal trains for families welcoming new babies or other transitions in life and keep families apprised of community events.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Noah's Ark offers parents the chance to meet with their child's teacher twice a year.  Early fall we offer 10 minutes with the teacher. You will have the opportunity to meet briefly with one of your child’s teachers to share preliminary information about your child and what you would like your child to gain from his or her preschool experience.  

Children receive a written assessment in January and May, the January assessment is accompanied by a parent conference. Teachers meet formally with individual parents to discuss their child’s development, their activities and participation at the school. Parents and teachers collaborate on goals for the child.  With prior notice to a teacher and/or director, individual parental conferences can be arranged at any time in addition to the two yearly meetings.

What Parents are Saying about NAP

We have been with Noah's Ark for 4 years now and could not have found a better school and community to be part of. The teachers are wonderful, caring, creative and have done a fantastic job of helping to prepare our kids for Kindergarten. ~ MM

Noah's Ark offers exactly what our family was looking for in a preschool: a warm and nurturing environment with caring teachers, a wide variety of engaging experiences, and lots of opportunities each day for discovery through play. The teachers tuned into the individual personalities and learning styles of each of our three children, encouraging their curiosity, building their confidence, and developing their independence. Our kids have made lasting friendships at NAP, and our whole family has found a wonderfully supportive community there. ~ JZ

The Noah’s Ark community is like no other! There’s an instant belonging for not just the children who make lifelong friendships, but also the parents. It’s the most welcoming and inviting preschool around and we are thrilled to be a part of it. ~KS

We have loved our experience at Noah’s Ark so far. The teachers are amazing- warm, welcoming, easy to talk to. They’ve create such a fun nurturing environment for the kiddos to learn and socialize. There is great communication with parents and it’s clear how much my son is learning and creating each day. The facility has multiple rooms for different activities, a spacious outdoor play area and even a large gym room for rainy days. In addition there is a parents group that is very active- perfect for meeting new people and getting the whole family engaged. We plan to send our younger son next year as well! ~LB

We have sent two of our daughters, who have very different personalities to NAP and my husband and I have been amazed to watch them both flourish. We are truly delighted with how our children are embraced, nurtured, and supported by the staff and teachers. Our children are excited to go to school and learn new things each day. The combination of play based teaching methods and philosophy along with a great staff has allowed our children to excel both academically and personally. ~RD

I am so glad I chose to send my two boys to Noah’s Ark. We had just moved to town and immediately felt that it was a warm and nurturing environment. It’s a fantastic community and we have made many life long friends. My boys are always happy to go to school and come home with the biggest smile. ~AM
