PARENT CONCERNS & CURRENT STAFF

Questions and Concerns

If you have questions or concerns about the program please be sure to talk with your child's teacher. If you need more information, the Site Director is available to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Some policies or questions may need to be directed to the Executive Director, Education Dorector or the Social Workers. Please feel free to call on them whenever you have a concern which the teacher or Site Director is unable to fully answer. The Board of Directors is also available to hear concerns. There is at least one parent from each location on the Board of Directors at any given time. They can also be a contact for parents with problems or concerns.

Education Director

Our Education Director is charged with promoting kindergarten-readiness according to public school guidelines, as well as upholding the educational philosophy of Open Door. Other responsibilities of the Education Director include developing effective assessment tools for tracking children's progress, coordinating the curricula of our two schools, improving communication between families and teaching staff, and encouraging families to take an active role in their children's education. Our Education Director serves half time at both schools.

Social Worker

Each site has a half-time Social Worker, devoted to serving the needs of all the families at Open Door. The Social Worker will meet with each family when they first enroll. Parents can contact the Social Worker at any time with their concerns. The Social Worker can provide parents with information and referrals, short-term crisis counseling, family support, and emergency food and clothing.
