Parent Involvement
There is a documented connection between the success of children and the level of involvement of their parents and caregivers in their early education. With this in mind, The Village Early Learning Center provides a multitude of opportunities for involvement inside and outside of the classroom. These efforts are successful because we have some of the most enthusiastic and supportive parents around! If you’re looking for some ways you can help out, here are just a few ideas:
Be an Active Member of The Village Family Foundation
The Village Family Foundation (VFF) is the non-profit foundation associated with The Village Early Learning Center. The VFF’s mission is to promote literacy in the Brandon area, enrich the lives of children, facilitate parent/teacher communications, engage parents and support educators, to enhance each student’s growth through education within the school and the community. This is fulfilled in part through VFF sponsored school and community events. Learn More!
Volunteer In The Classroom

Be a Homeroom Helper to support your child’s class and teacher.
