At Clayton Educare, we believe you are your child’s first teacher and the primary influence in the direction of their development.  Our purpose is to guide you in your efforts to provide for your child’s needs and develop the resources to meet your self-determined goals. The program and parents - together - create a positive partnership toward achieving child and family outcomes.

Family Partnership Agreement

Your Child Family Educator (CFE) works collaboratively with you to identify family goals through the Family Partnership Agreement. These agreements describe the goals for your family and specify the resources available and services needed to achieve them. Your CFE will help you locate desired community resources and assist you in accessing them. Referrals can be made to agencies such as those offering child care, emergency assistance, intervention services, continuing education, job training, and employment services. Additionally, educational and literacy focused workshops, parenting, and nutrition classes and other support groups are often offered onsite by Educare staff.

Individual Child Curriculum Plan

Parents and staff also partner together to support all aspects of a child’s development and individualized learning plan. This individual learning plan becomes part of a written document that outlines your child’s goals, steps to achieve these goals, and steps to review your child’s progress in meeting these goals.
