Parent-teacher communication preschool is the foundation of strong partnerships that support a child’s success. Open collaboration builds consistency between school and home, fostering confidence, social-emotional skills, and academic growth. Families and teachers working together create a supportive community that helps children thrive.
Keeping up with school deadlines and activities can be challenging for families. Organizing school events for parents creates clear routines, reduces stress, and helps children develop planning skills while ensuring a balanced family schedule.
Back-to-school evenings can be less stressful with a structured homework routine for kids. Consistent study habits help children stay focused, organized, and confident while balancing schoolwork and family time.
When toddlers and preschoolers help choose their lunches, they learn responsibility, independence, and healthy eating habits. From picking produce to assembling bento boxes, these small steps make mealtime more meaningful while supporting better nutrition and school readiness.
The shift from summer freedom to school-year routines can be tough for children of all ages. With patience, honest conversations, and comforting routines, families and teachers can help kids navigate feelings of nostalgia and embrace new opportunities for growth.

MCCA is the oldest nonprofit licensed child care provider in Montgomery County and started its work in 1968 as a Community Action Project of the War on Poverty. Recognizing the need for quality child care programs in their neighborhoods, a group of local activists formed an association to establish centers in Montgomery County that would serve a diverse population and establish high standards for child care. Now, more than 50 years later, MCCA’s dedicated and expertly trained staff continue their tradition of providing high quality child care and play-based education for children.
Families with school aged children who can afford their child care expenses during the school year often struggle to afford the all-day programs they need when school is out for the summer. The Richard Krampf Summer Adventures Scholarship Fund was established to help provide children a safe and stimulating place to spend their weeks when school is out. Please contact an MCCA Director for details on how to apply.
