Head Start of Yamhill County

Classroom Involvement

The Head Start program encourages all parents and guardians to participate in their children's educational experience through home visits as well as classroom visitation and involvement. As a parent or guardian, you are welcome to stop by any time to check in, observe, and/or participate by volunteering.

When you come into your child's classroom, here are some things you can expect:

1. A cheerful welcome.
2. An invitation to come in and observe or interact with the children.
3. To be invited to eat a family-style meal with both children and teachers.
4. To find a developmentally appropriate, clean, safe learning environment with stimulating and creative activities for all children.
5. To see a "parent area" where you can go for information or to visit with other parents.

If you are interested in volunteering in your child's classroom on a regular basis, please contact your child's teacher.
