Parents and Our Community

Children, parents, administration and classroom staff all blend together to form the West Hills Learning Center community.

Within our community parents have many roles and responsibilities, including educating themselves about their children’s development, learning about the Center’s policies, attending parent/family events, and participating in volunteer opportunities.

It is by working and sharing together that we create a secure and enriched learning environment for the children in our community to thrive.

Be social with us!
